Aims Of Our Program

The goal of our PASS volunteer program is to give parents an opportunity to be more actively involved in the education of their children. By doing so, parents and other interested persons become a much needed support system for the students, teachers and the entire school community. Volunteers can help by not only providing teachers more instruction time in the classroom, but also allowing the instructional assistants time to be in the classroom helping more with individual students. Our program also greatly increases awareness among volunteers of the many needs within the school setting which can be met by those who are willing to volunteer their time and talents to the students and teachers in our schools.
