FAMILIES MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE
Parents and community members make an important contribution to learning at Bay Point Elementary Magnet School by giving their time and treasure. By volunteering you will emphasize the importance of education to your child. As an added bonus, you will get to know your child's teacher and meet your child's friends and other BPE families. Without our volunteers many of our activities would not be possible. People who train to become mentors and tutors help our students succeed. We are very grateful for the many hours our volunteers devote to the school!

The District will conduct a background check which may take about three (3) weeks.
Level II Background Check
Volunteers who may have unsupervised contact with students must obtain a Level II background check. Individuals must be registered and approved prior to seeking the Level II check. There is a fee associated with this check. Additional information, including a list of vendors is available at Level II Procedures. If you were fingerprinted as part of your job you may be able to have the information added to your volunteer screen.
Returning Volunteers
Please reactivate promptly at the beginning of each school year to keep your information current. For more information go to Activate my account.
Mentors and Tutors
Mentors and tutors can make a big difference in a child's life. Registered volunteers will be asked to attend an informative workshop prior to mentoring. The workshops are held throughout the year. For more information go to Workshops.
