A Brambleton Middle School PTSA Volunteer is....

• Friendly and courteous at all times.
• Dependable and on time. If unable to attend, arrangements should be made ahead of time with the teacher or coordinator. In case of a last minute emergency, please contact the front office. 
• Always works under the direction and supervision of a teacher and/or member of the school staff. The relationship between the volunteer and the teacher is a professional one- one of mutual respect and confidence.
• Is expected to support the teacher and supplement the teachers needs. The teacher, not the volunteer, is responsible for content and techniques.
• Knows that any information to which he/she has access to in the school or classroom is confidential.
• Never expresses differences of opinion of dissatisfaction in the presence of students. 
• Knows that personal reactions to a particular staff member or to a particular student should be confidential. 
• Takes all suggestions or matters of concern to the PTSA president or principal. 
• Works within the rules of the school as set out by the principal.
• Has short, periodic planning periods with the teachers, either in person or on the telephone.
• Remember the dress code. Volunteers set an example for the students, so it is important that you present yourself accordingly. As a general guideline, volunteers should follow the same dress code policy as the staff.

Importance of Signing In/Out
Each time you go into the school to volunteer, you must sign in, wear a name badge and sign out when you are finished. This requirement is necessary for the following reasons:

• ​Safeguarding our students and maintaining security, which is of the utmost importance.
• In case you receive an emergency telephone call, you can be found.
• Individual volunteers will be recognized for their dedication and service to our school.
• We would like the opportunity to thank you for your service.

Support your school by volunteering!  Don't worry, we need all kinds of help, and no effort is too small.  You can choose to help out an hour here or there, hit the pavement and help fundraise, or decide to chair a committee and be responsible for all aspects of a sub-program for the school year.

You can volunteer many ways at Brambleton Middle School:

• Parent Volunteers - assist teachers & staff in school with various administrative tasks
• Event Volunteers - we always need extra hands to help execute our events (decorate, set up, take down, monitor events) to make sure things run smoothly 
• Committee Chairs - typically run a sub-program (e.g., Teacher Appreciation, Tailgate, 8th Grade Committee)
