N/A

I am a parent who has volunteered in my daughter's classroom over the past couple of years at Wapak Elementary - last year as a volunteer to help develop math skills with the kids. There were other parents directly involved in teaching the kids as well, and the teachers usually did a good job of scheduling their volunteers. I have been impressed with each of her teacher's effective use of time; the kids seemed to be kept on task throughout the day, and were constantly challenged at an appropriate level. As a dad who wants to be involved in my child's education, my participation was warmly accepted. I was afforded the opportunity to assist on a number of occasions in which I worked with the kids one-on-one or in small groups. In each case, the teacher had spent some time preparing assigned activities, which supported the learning material, for me to facilitate. I was able to serve in a way that clearly made a difference in the lives of some of the kids, and wasn't just used as an office assistant. The school's staff appear to be mission-oriented, and, more importantly, my kid seems to be learning a lot! :)
