Introducing the “Coyote P.E.A.C.E. Corps!”
People Enriching All Children’s Education
Building on the success of our former Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) Program at Canyon Creek, we are excited to announce Coyote P.E.A.C.E. (People Enriching All Students’ Education) Corps - an expanded, more inclusive program to involve positive adult role models at school in a manner that more closely aligns with Canyon Creek’s culture, community and priorities.
Coyote P.E.A.C.E. Corps is an opportunity for any adult family member or relative of our students. Coyote P.E.A.C.E. Corps volunteers spend the majority of a school day (normally 9:00 am - 1:30 pm) on campus. They will enjoy time with their own student(s) throughout the day while also serving as a positive presence for all of our students, especially those who benefit most from positive adult support and encouragement.
We are seeking volunteers who are interested and comfortable proactively engaging with students in a variety of settings throughout the day.
As a Coyote P.E.A.C.E. Corps Volunteer, your typical day may include:
-
Support during morning arrival
-
Time in the classroom(s) of your own student(s)
-
Lunch and Recess with your own student(s)
-
Supporting students in our Learning Center (individual/small group reading, playing educational games, etc.)
-
Potentially supporting a P.E. or Music Class, or helping in the Office
-
Helping oversee and/or engaging in group activities at Recesses (basketball, soccer, cricket, football, tag games, four square, jump roping, etc.)
Get started with these two steps:
-
Complete the NSD Volunteer Application on the District Website if you have not already done so this school year: https://www.nsd.org/get-involved/volunteer/become-a-volunteer
-
Sign up for a specific day (or days) here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0C49A5A92CA7F94-coyote
Once you have signed up, you will receive an orientation packet to review prior to your visit that will include additional details, volunteer expectations and agreements, and a short survey to help us schedule your day.
We will also continue to offer the option of Lunch and Recess Support only for those who can not commit to the extended day. Please contact Bob Graff at rgraff@nsd.org for further information about this option.
