• Volunteer Activities

    These are a few ways volunteers may assist our schools. The hours worked by every volunteer should be recorded in the VIPS HourTracker system. Volunteer hours are counted as the actual time spent on an activity including travel time to and from the activity. Donation of purchased items (cookies, office supplies, etc.) should be recorded and reported along with volunteer hours.
