We’re looking for one or two volunteers to assist with Emergency Preparedness (E-Prep) tasks throughout the school year. If you’re organized and enjoy behind-the-scenes work that helps keep our school safe and running smoothly, we’d love your help! Here are some keyways you can support the E-Prep team:

1. Badge Sticker Updates (Before School Starts)

• Each year before school begins, student name badges get updated with new class stickers.

• What’s involved: Simply placing pre-sorted stickers (by teacher) onto badges.

• When: Late August or early September – flexible timing!

2. Emergency Backpack Checks (Early September)

• At the start of the school year, every classroom’s red emergency (E-Prep) backpack needs a quick check.

• What’s involved: Ensure contents are present and batteries are working.

• We’ll coordinate with teachers ahead of time to place backpacks in the hallway for easy access.

• When: Flexible, volunteer chooses a day that works best.

3. Monthly District E-Prep Zoom Meetings

• Volunteers are invited to attend monthly Zoom meetings hosted by the district for updates and support.

• Optional but helpful to stay in the loop.

4. Storage Crate Organization (Ongoing & One-Time Project)

• Periodically check in with the E-Prep team (Saline, Rose, and me) to help organize and maintain the storage crate throughout the year.

• One-time task this fall: Help move supplies from the old storage crate to a new shed. We’ll need a team of parent volunteers for this project once we gain access.
