PARENTS’ ROLE

Parents are encouraged to take an active role in the educational process. They are encouraged to share in a vital partnership with the school, participating in leadership and planning within many areas of the school. This may be accomplished through their service on the elected School Site Council or their voluntary service in PTC, the parent and teacher organization.

Parents are welcome to observe in the classroom. To provide the least disruption to the educational process, we ask that the time is arranged through the office well in advance and teachers not be interrupted. Back-to-School Night, parent education programs, special events (such as Grandparents Day, Dr. Seuss Day, Safety Day, Field Day and student performances) also provide for families to visit and observe at Hollyvale.

 PARENT VOLUNTEER

Many parents and family members volunteer throughout the school, providing an instructional support to teachers and an invaluable resource to students.Any parent wishing to chaperone a field trip and/or assist in a classroom must go through the volunteer process. Any inquiries regarding potential participation in these, or any other volunteer opportunities may be directed through the office. Volunteers must fill out an application and be approved by the School Board prior to working with students. A letter will be sent home verifying approval. This process may take one month.
