#BePresent
#BePresent is a community/school partnership designed to increase and improve community relationships within schools. Mentors and volunteers will assist school-based staff and administration with ensuring a safe and orderly school environment by being present during the school day. Mentors and volunteers are invited to have a greater presence in schools as a way to enhance relationships and make school operations safer and more efficient. Although each school has unique needs, some possible acitivites might include:
helping with arrival and dismissal
assisting staff during lunch and recess
being present in hallways during class changes
supporting specific programs/activities
mentoring a student or small group of students
reading with a student
