    Returning volunteers must reactivate themselves in Focus by logging in (see below) and answering a few questions regarding any criminal activity during the past year.  This is required at the beginning of each year prior to volunteering.

    • Always sign in/out at the front desk.
    • Always wear your volunteer nametag/sticker or lever 2 badge while on campus.

    It is very important for volunteers to log ALL of their hours in the system.  Hours include planning and attending PTA and SAC meetings, planning and working events, making phone calls, working on projects, soliciting donations, shopping for supplies, etc.  ANY time spent on activity that benefits the school counts!  Hours do not have to be served on campus.
