Volunteer InformationWe would like to THANK all of the volunteers who were able to help last school year. We look forward to seeing you around the halls of Poplin Elementary during the 2013-2014 school year. We are excited and working hard planning PTA events for this school year.
All UCPS volunteers must be approved by the county. This process is now ON LINE. To begin the approval process simply go to https://volunteers.ucps.k12.nc.us and under the VMS Home Screen click "Apply online to Volunteer with UCPS". Once you are approved, your "approval" will stay with you throughout all school years in Union County as long as you log volunteer time in the office twice per year (once in the Fall and once in the Spring). A Poplin Volunteer INTEREST form will be sent home with the children in August of each year. If you would like to go ahead and fill one out just click here. This form helps us see the areas, programs & events YOU are interested in. WE NEED YOU! Check out our Three for Me Program below and read all about our volunteer opportunities available for you!! If you are interested in any of these programs please contact April Wyche at [email protected] for more information or to get a monthly schedule! |
GET INVOLVED!Your child benefits ... When parents get connected to the school, children do better. Research shows children whose parents are involved get better grades, do better on tests, and have fewer discipline problems at school. We’re welcoming ... To us, there are no “outsiders.” We are people who have come together to work toward common goals. We couldn’t be happier to have you join us in working toward those goals. This work is very rewarding ... It’s seeing the bright light of learning sparkle in a child’s eye. It’s seeing the smile that shows we’re making school a little more fun—and a child feel a little more comfortable in a learning environment. It’s learning that test scores have risen and knowing we played a role. There are lots of rewards, both big and small, for those who get involved. |
