Volunteering
at Folwell Elementary School
At Folwell School, we have an outstanding staff, great kids and
parents, and MANY opportunities to get involved as often as you would like!
GETTING STARTED:
All Rochester Public Schools volunteers must complete the online
Volunteers in Education (ViE) application prior to volunteering. This
application can be found on the Rochester Public Schools ViE website: http://www.rochester.k12.mn.us/departments/family_and_community_engagement/volunteers_in_education__vie_
Here,
you can register for both classroom and field trip volunteering. (If you click
on Field Trip, you will automatically be saved as a site/classroom volunteer as
well.) Site volunteers do not need to reapply once they are entered into
the system. Field trip volunteers will need to reapply every 3 school
years. Once you receive notification of your approval, you may start to
sign up for volunteer opportunities.
HOW TO SIGN UP FOR AN EVENT:
To sign up for a volunteer opportunity, please visit the Folwell
blog site (http://www.folwell.info), and find the “Click to
Volunteer!” tab on the upper bar. You will be directed to all available
Folwell volunteer opportunities, and can sign up for as much as you would like.
Classroom volunteer requests and field trip chaperone needs will
be initiated by your child’s teacher. Some teachers start using
volunteers during the first week of school; some wait until October or
November, and some only occasionally request volunteers-- every teacher is
different.
COMMUNICATION:
Upcoming volunteer opportunities are sent via the Folwell
Blog. Blog posts are available on the main page of the Folwell blog
website (www.folwell.info).
