volunteers to fulfill the mission and vision of SAA, implement extracurricular
activities, and to raise funds to support these venues. The POEC meets the third Thursday of each
month. Our next meeting will be Thursday August 18th at 7:00pm in

How do I enter my volunteer hours?
1.
Sign
in and out of the volunteer computer.
Computers are located in both the Elementary and Junior High Buildings.
2. If the computers are
not working or you need to log volunteer hours completed at home. You will need to log your hours through volunteer
home access of HelpCounter. This year volunteers will be responsible to log their time into the
HelpCounter software program. No home
logs or log in sheet by the computers will be available.
How do I volunteer?
·
Please
sign up for all classroom volunteer opportunities with your child’s class
captain.
·
Event
coordinators will contact you to help with those events you indicated in
HelpCounter.
IMPORTANT: Keep all your information up to date. If you’re not in the HelpCounter system you
will not be notified about volunteer opportunities. Remember, you can make
changes and updates throughout the school year.
Identification
and Security: EVERY volunteer/ visitor must
have a badge on when in the school. You can purchase a badge with your photo
for $1.00 only on school picture day (August 26th). If you don’t have a photo badge, you may use a
generic badge available when you arrive as a volunteer or visitor.
How do I know how many hours I have
volunteered?
On the first
day of each month HelpCounter will email you your total hours to date.
How do I link 2 family members together so
both of our time will go to our 30 hour requirement?
Email saavolunteers@hotmail.com with both names and
email addresses to be linked together.
How can I share my talents or occupation?
When you enter your information into HelpCounter
you can also use the notes section to tell us about your talents or occupation that
you are willing to share with students, teachers, SAA, and POEC. This helps so
much when we are looking for a specific interest, talent, or occupation.
How do I start an After School Club with my
talents or interests?
Please log the information in the volunteer
computer under activities and then go to the office and pick up a form.
