Welcome

We need you! Wood Acres relies on parents to support paid staff personnel during every lunch and recess shift. This is particularly true on rainy and snowy days.

If you can help at lunch/recess with supervising the children, please sign up using this online form. We encourage parents to sign up for a regular shift, be it once a month or once a week. If you cannot make a regular commitment we welcome last minute volunteers.

Parents are not expected to volunteer on "no recess" days.

The time frame is one hour for the volunteer shift, though it is possible to volunteer only for lunch or recess. If your child has lunch first, please report to the cafeteria. If your child has recess first, please report to a staff member outside the cafeteria doors on the upper level to find out where to stand.  Please complete one form for each child you have at Wood Acres.

There is no need to contact the coordinator. If you need to cancel, please post on Woodnet for a replacement or to switch with someone else. The schedule of volunteers and shifts will be posted for two month time periods beginning in the Fall after sign-up is completed.
