The “Power of 3” Volunteer Program
Research shows that parent involvement is the biggest indicator of student success in elementary school. The Power of 3 is a program designed to help all parents/ guardians get connected to their child’s school, and promote for each child the benefits of having a parent/guardian who is involved with their education process.
If you are ready to go…
1) Sign the Pledge.
- Sign the form attached to this flier and return it to school in your child’s folder.
- By signing, you are committing to three hours of involvement over the school year.
- Each parent/guardian signs a separate pledge.
- Please sign with the name that you will use to track your hours.
- You don’t have to pledge to be involved, but why not join the team?
2) Choose what works for you.
- Indicate your choices on the attached volunteer information sheet.
- Send the form back to school as soon as possible.
- These forms are also available in the front office.
3) Get involved!
- You will be contacted by one of our coordinators to set up your volunteer time.
- Show up to a Volunteer Night or a Saturday Work Day.
- Use the Learning Challenge Tracker to record your time with your child at home. (These will be sent home in the weekly folders.)
4) Track your hours.
- Sign in at the front office or with your event coordinator.
- Please use the name that you used when you signed your Pledge.
- Send your Learning Challenge Tracker back to school weekly in your child’s folder.
5) Congratulate yourself!
- Parents/Guardians who volunteer three hours or more will be recognized throughout the year. As soon as you have completed your three hours, your name will be entered into a quarterly drawing.
- When you send in your Learning Challenge Tracker, you will be recognized monthly and be entered into a drawing for fun prizes.
