PUBLIC MEETINGS <br /> There are several public meetings, which include the Selectmen's meeting (usually held <br /> twice a month on Mondays), the School Committee meetings (generally held on the first and <br /> third Wednesday of each month), and the Finance Committee meeting (once a month on a <br /> Tuesday). School Committee meetings are generally listed on our monthly school calendar, <br /> as well as televised on CH.22. The other meetings are listed in the Mashpee Enterprise and <br /> are televised on CH. 22. All are welcomed to attend these public meetings. <br /> VOLUNTEER PROGRAM <br /> Volunteers are welcome to our school. Volunteers help us provide the best possible education and <br /> success for our students. The presence of volunteers in the classroom provides the teacher with <br /> valuable help in giving individual, small group or clerical assistance. Parents/guardians may <br /> volunteer subject to a CORI (criminal record check). If you desire to be a school volunteer, you <br /> must register at the Volunteer Office. Please remember that volunteering even in a small and one- <br /> time way such as accompanying a class on a field trip still requires a volunteer registration, a <br /> CORI, and a picture identification badge prior to volunteering in the school. The Volunteer Office <br /> can be reached at <br /> 508-539-1550 x 4175 or by e-mail at bwunder@mashpee.kl2.ma.us. Placement of volunteers <br /> follows this registration. Volunteers must re-register with the volunteer office each year, and a <br /> new CORI form must be completed every three years. <br /> In summary, pursuant to Massachusetts General Law, it is mandated that all persons having <br /> contact with students must have a security clearance including those who will be chaperoning field <br /> trips. The Mashpee Schools: <br /> • Require all volunteers be registered with the Volunteer Office <br /> • Require volunteers be provided with and must wear a photo identification badge <br /> • Require volunteers have security clearances (CORI) every three (3) years. <br /> Please sign up at the beginning for the school year as clearance takes some time. Signing in <br /> September will expedite your availability to volunteer for regular, routine, sporadic or even one- <br /> time events. If your schedule changes during the school year and you are unable to continue to <br /> volunteer as you originally thought, just get in touch with the volunteer office to adjust your <br /> volunteer schedule of availability. Come join us! <br /> We are most appreciative of the time and talents you donate. We know you will enjoy the <br /> experience of working with young children. Your contributions make a difference in their lives. It <br /> is important to remember that volunteering at school requires a willingness and commitment to <br /> helping children. It does not require any other credential. Our programs, including math <br /> enrichment, are not intimidating. Math Enrichment is a fun and challenging way to explore math <br /> for those students who already excel in the math area. Art History has a training program for those <br /> who wish to participate in that program. In most cases, these types of programs are so enjoyable, <br /> children don't realize they are learning. <br /> CHAIN OF COMMAND <br /> Chain of command in the school building is always through the teacher fust. The principal <br /> and/or the guidance personnel may be contacted subsequently if a concern persists. <br /> Transportation concerns should be addressed to the building principal in writing. <br /> 49 <br />
