Volunteer Opportunity
Your help is greatly needed to stem the tide of truancy in Oakland . Our beleaguered school clerks are often responsible for attendance as well as performing many other duties with constant interruptions. Because of that, calls to parents to follow up on absences are often not made.
If you have a daytime hour or two a week, you could help a school clerk make those calls to parents. Volunteers will be trained and assigned to a convenient school. A child back in school has great results:
1. The opportunity for learning,
2. Less likelihood of getting hurt or into trouble in the streets, and
3. Increased income for the school which is based on average daily attendance
We have at least 10 schools in District 3, and 4 volunteers have signed up already. It would be great to have 1 person for each day of the week for each school (50 volunteers). Please share this email with someone you know who would be a trustworthy volunteer with daytime free hours.
It takes a village.....
For more information, and/or to volunteer, please contact Angela Haick, 510/879-1460, angela.haick@ ousd.k12. ca.us.
Thank you,
