The School Leadership Council

Temecula Preparatory School desires to utilize volunteers. In order to do this effectively TPS has formed the School Leadership Council (SLC) to help recruit, screen and place volunteers. TPS has also established procedures to protect the safety of students and adults

Through the SLC, we encourage parents/guardians and other members within our school community to share their time, knowledge and abilities with the school in line with our mission to provide a classical education to our students.

We recognize that volunteer assistance within the school enriches the educational program, enhances supervision of students and contributes to school safety while strengthening the schools' relationships with parents and friends.

Because TPS focuses so strongly on virtue we encourage volunteers to take this into account when they are serving in various capacities. Even in the smallest of tasks parents and friends always have the opportunity to serve as mentors regarding virtuous behavior for our students. In fact, this is the most important of aspect volunteerism here at TPS.

The SLC volunteers shall be provided with information about school goals, programs and practices and shall receive an orientation and other training related to their specific responsibilities as appropriate. Obviously, it is necessary for volunteers to act in accordance with school policies, regulations and school rules, including dress code issues.

It is intended that volunteer work shall be limited to those events or projects that will not replace the normal duties of certificated or classified staff. TPS understands the sacrifice in time, costs, and labor donated by volunteers and wants to ensure that volunteer work is maximized.
