Peoria Unified School Volunteers :
The Peoria Unified School District offers a wide variety of volunteer opportunities. Some jobs provide the volunteer with a chance to work with children while many other jobs are available to those who prefer not to work directly with students.
Classroom Instructional Volunteer : For those who enjoy working directly with individual or small groups of students, volunteers are needed to listen to students read, reinforce basic math, or assist students with written assignments.
Classroom Assistance Volunteer : Classroom volunteers perform tasks such as putting up bulletin boards, correcting papers, preparing materials, photocopying, and other jobs to provide the teacher with more time for planning and teaching students.
Office Clerical Assistant : Clerical assistants work with the school secretary and office staff to provide support and assistance with duties such as sorting mail, photocopying school newsletters and flyers, preparing and distributing classroom supply orders, typing, answering phones, and preparing bulletin boards for the office area.
Special Education Volunteer : Our school system serves many children with special needs. Children with physical, mental or emotional handicaps benefit greatly from the assistance of an extra caring adult. Volunteers are needed to assist students who attend special education classes in neighborhood schools throughout the district. For example, physically handicapped students who are unable to write need volunteers to write for them.
Health Office Assistant : Health office volunteers are not permitted access to student health records. The HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) requires privacy of student records.
Library or Media Center Volunteer : Assistance to the librarian or media center specialist can be provided by repairing and shelving books, completing clerical tasks or preparing bulletin boards and displays. Volunteers may also choose to work directly with students helping them to locate and use library materials.
Other Assignments : Volunteers also assist with the visual and performing arts programs or technology labs. They serve as art masterpiece docents and program assistants.
