Reporting VIPS Hours

 

WE'RE ON A MISSION!

 

Many thanks to the parents, teachers, staff, and volunteers who support our school!

So many student enrichment activities and projects could not occur without the support of individuals willing to share their time and talents. Wonderful things are happening in our school - everyday - and we want everyone to know it.

Reporting our volunteer service time is one way you can support our efforts. Without consistent reporting we are unable to demonstrate and support the efforts of our labor. Numbers are necessary to quantify the impact volunteerism has on our school.

Our goal for the 2008-2009 year is to report more service hours for our school than last year. That goal can easily be met if everyone takes the time to document their service.

Reporting your service is very easy. There are a variety of ways to forward your information and the great thing about it is it doesn't matter which method or combination of methods you choose.

 

OPTION 1

Sign in and out at the school. There is a ViPS sign-in book at the front entrance. Please be sure to provide your name, reason for being at the school and your time in and time out. Remember to include your preparation and drive time. Your start time should begin the minute you leave to begin your volunteer activity. For group events, such as Hall of Fame, etc., we will do our best to have a sign-in sheet with all the information needed but for your name.

 

OPTION 2

Keep a Personal Tally sheet of your service. We have this form available, or you can simply use a piece of notebook paper. Each time you volunteer, post your service time. Be sure to forward these records on to use or to the school in a routine and timely manner so all service time can be counted and credited to our school.

 

OPTION 3

Sign on to www.lrsd.org and report your service time electronically. ViPS' link is found under 'Visitors' and 'Parents.' From the ViPS home page, go to 'Submit Service Reports.' (Please note this report form is under construction so you will be seeing changes in the near future. But don't worry. As long as you are able to open a form it will work to report your service.)

 

If you have a question as to what qualifies as time to report or if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Melanie Russell @ 312-1887 or 580-3143 or Michelle Carney @ 221-1474 or 658-8368.

 

Thanks for all you do. We appreciate your time.
