PTO MANAGER: Please click on the PTO Manager link to schedule a time to volunteer at Bromley East Charter School
Volunteers are not only welcome, but crucial to meet all of the needs of our students. Before volunteering, each volunteer is required to read and sign the Bromley East Family Partnership Agreement.
Bromley East Charter School requests 40 volunteer hours per year per family. All volunteers are responsible for tracking all hours spent volunteering for Bromley East including onsite and offsite. Volunteers may use the online system to track hours via the Bromley East Charter School website. A computer at the school will be available for parents to log volunteer hours online.
In order to give your full attention to your volunteer job, please do not bring your young children to the school while you volunteer during school hours. Please make other arrangements for younger children for the time you plan to be volunteering at the school. Parents should be aware that there are many opportunities to do volunteer work for the school that do not involve on-site presence during school hours. Parents with small children are encouraged to explore such opportunities.
You are a role model for the students when you volunteer. Please act accordingly and dress appropriately (see the Staff Dress Code guidelines).
In order to protect the children, as well as adult volunteers and help ensure that Bromley East will always be a safe environment for students, a single volunteer shall never be alone with a child or a group of children. If a volunteer is working one-on-one with a student, it must always be within an area where at least one other adult is present or in an open area (or one with a door open).
According to FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) requirements, it is inappropriate for persons without a legitimate “need-to-know” to participate in discussions involving specific students, other than their own. Please respect the school’s federal mandate to strictly adhere to this policy.
Community Involvement
Community relations are important to us, and we are all goodwill ambassadors for Bromley East Charter School. We hope to continue in creating partnerships with local businesses and pursue grant opportunities. Any information or expertise you can offer in this area is greatly appreciated. Bromley East Charter School may recruit individuals from the community to provide supplementary education experiences for the students. On-site parental volunteer assistance is encouraged and facilitated.
