Parents must sign a parental involvement pledge indicating their commitment to participating on a variety of activities to be determined by the school administration. Although it is the express desire of the LVA Board to encourage or attract parents to volunteer in activities rather than meet strict parental involvement requirements, parents not participating in the parental involvement Programme may be required to meet with the Board to facilitate their involvement at LVA. The LVA Board will commit the necessary resources in administration and staffing to organize an efficient and effective parental volunteer Programme. Here are just a few ways to get involved: During the day at school In school as needed Opportunities outside of school During the day at school Morning student drop off Communication envelopes Morning bus greeter School Store Afternoon student pick-up Classroom Reading to small groups Taking students back and forth to library Helping with bulletin boards Small group pullouts Book orders Hall monitor Teacher's resource room Reading buddies Lunch room Library Spanish aides In school as needed Nurse room assistant   Coach an after school Programme Special events Organize an after school Programme Attend field trips Attend family night functions Appear as a guest speaker Share your culture or heritage General maintenance and carpentry skills Help with child care during meetings and events Video, document special events Hospitality set up and greeter for events Share a hobby or interest Opportunities outside of school Recruit other family members, local organizations to volunteer at school   Make phone calls gather resource materials from web Write thank you letters Pick up donations Arrange for a business or other organization to donate materials to the school Support our Girl Scout and Boy Scout prorams Provide child care for a family who volunteers at school Phone chains Transport families to and from events Coach or assist in sports Programmes Attend school board meetings Attend monthly workshops Attend any school event Join one of our many parent driven comittees If you would like to find out more about the volunteer opportunities at LVA please contact Holly Parkinson at 610 866-9660 #120 or Parkinsonh@lvacademy.org Or for more detailed version visit the LVA family Handbook and read the Parental Involvement section.
