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.
