Volunteering at Hammond Elementary School

In order to ensure that all parents, grandparents and community members who volunteer at Hammond (this includes chaperoning on field trips and volunteering on Field Day, parties, or any activities involving students) are aware of HES and HCPSS policies and procedures, we will be offering a series of volunteer training sessions. If you would like to volunteer in school this year, you must attend one of the training sessions. There will be three training sessions: Tuesday, September 22nd at 9:30am, Friday September 25 at 2:15pm, Tuesday September 29 at 6pm, Thursday October 1 at 9:30am and Thursday, October 8 at 6pm.

Volunteering at Hammond

What is the role of a volunteer at HES? There are two types of volunteers—
classroom volunteers and PTA volunteers.

What is a classroom volunteer? This is a person who works as part of a team in the grade pods. Classroom volunteers are asked to do a variety of chores including collating handouts, working on bulletin boards and working with a small group of children.

What roles are there for volunteering with the PTA? There are a variety of roles including fundraising, creative and marketing roles. If you have a skill, I’m sure the HES PTA can put it to good use! Use this form to join a committee.

Do you need to be trained to be a volunteer? To be a classroom volunteer you must be trained by the appropriate professional staff at HES. The training takes no more than 45 minutes.

What is the time commitment if I sign up to be a volunteer? There are lots of behind-the-scenes jobs that can take as little as 15 minutes a week up to projects that can take a couple of hours each week. You are encouraged to volunteer regardless of the time you have to offer.

How do you get involved? If you are new to HES, please contact PTA president, Chris Armstrong. They will be able to direct you to the appropriate person to talk to.
