Volunteer Training
Rich Pond Elementary prides ourselves on being a safe, fun, learning environment for all our students! We also know that parent involvement in school programs directly correlates with student success academically, that's why we encourage volunteers in our building. Did you know that each school year you must attend volunteer training to each lunch with your child and a friend, go on field trips, and attend school-wide parties. This keeps our students in a safe learning environment, because we know the adults in our building are trusted.
