Daytime in-school volunteering
This section contains opportunities to volunteer in school during the day. Contact the individual teachers to coordinate volunteering times.
CLASSROOM VOLUNTEERS
Niwot Elementary School is made up not only of exceptional staff and students, but also volunteers who assist staff and student in the classroom setting. The benefits of volunteering are many, but importantly, classroom volunteers help provide reduced class sizes and assist with differentiated learning. Not only is being in the classroom fun, but it also helps foster the growth and development of our children by creating a warm, fun and inviting classroom environment.
HEALTH SCREENING
Niwot Elementary provides annual hearing and vision screening for all students. Volunteers are needed to assist in the screening process. No medical experience is necessary; training is provided.
PICTURE DAY
We need smile makers, hair combers, and general support for the photography company. We have two picture days, one in the spring and one in the fall.
OFFICE
Substitute Office Staff. On occasion, volunteers are needed when NES office staff is absent or overloaded. Duties include answering phones, sorting paperwork and making copies. Volunteers are also needed to substitute for the health clerk during absences in the health room. Take temps, give out ice packs and bandaids, etc. No medical training is required!
RECESS
There is always a need of an extra pair of hands and eyes for "Playground Duty", providing additional supervision and support on the playground during recess. The kids love a new team mate on the soccer field, or a game of tag with a volunteer.
LUNCH
We need individuals who can help in the lunchroom once a week or once a month, or to substitute for regular staff during the year for the Cougar Cafe. This adventure could coincide with the days you volunteer in your child's classroom, or when your child's grade has lunch.
LIBRARY
Library assistants help children find books they would like to read, check in books, check out books, shelve books and reorganize those already on the shelves
after eager students have browsed! Times can be coordinated with the librarian to fit your schedule.
ART ROOM
Art Help is needed in the Art Room occasionally and for miscellaneous projects.
MUSIC ROOM
The music department has various events and programs throughout the year, and needs your help.
P.E
The P.E. department would like parent volunteers for events throughout the year. Thanks for your help!
