Volunteer Training
NEW Online Volunteer Training Program! This web based seminar will provide you with a clear understanding of the ethics, policies, and procedures required when volunteering at Hammond Elementary School. To participate in the training, please go to online training. Here you will watch a video, read through the policies and submit a form - all online!

Why Should I Volunteer?
When do I have time to volunteer, you ask yourself.  I am too busy being a parent! Volunteering is important for all of us. Volunteering at your child's school may be one of the most important, life-altering things you can ever do for your child.
 
Why you ask? Because it sends a very clear message to them (and other students for that matter) that you're devoting your most precious commodity - yourself - to something that's important to you - their education.  It shows them you support them and their teachers and lets them know that what they do matters to you.

Its all about them
Were talking about our teachers and staff, the very teachers and staff who nurture your child everyday throughout the school year. We need your helping hands and smiling faces on our campuses to help lighten the load for our staff, giving them more time in the classroom.

We need you!
The number one reason people don't volunteer is because no one asked them. Well, we are asking for you to be involved! Your time and knowledge is needed and wanted by our staff and students. The diversity of our community and the experiences you can share with our students is valuable to us. Whether its a little time or a lot of time on campus or at home mom, dad or grandparent, WE NEED YOU! We could not do it without each of you!
