Parents on Campus
Parents on Campus is a school program dedicated to promoting a safe and friendly environment for all members of the Sierra community.
The Parents on Campus program is based on the belief that increased adult visibility on campus will reduce safety-related distractions and provide our students with a sense of security, stability, and happiness.

How Does It Work?
Parents on Campus brings volunteer parents to school at times they are available, and is particularly helpful during recesses and lunch periods. Volunteer parents walk around the campus, mingling with students, monitoring the parking lots and sidewalks, and keeping a watchful eye and ear open. Any concerns should be brought to the staff personnel who will always be available to handle any situation.

On rainy days, volunteers are needed even more! Students go to the cafeteria to eat on rainy days, and have recess time in class. We still need parents on campus. Bring a jacket and an umbrella.

- Starting the third full week of school each year, you may volunteer for Parents on Campus on a regular schedule, i.e., weekly, bi-weekly, once a month, or whenever you like.

Interacting with Students
Have fun walking around and observing the students. You will be “in the know” about what kids are saying, eating, and wearing at school. Enjoy them and engage them in conversations. You may be surprised how much kids enjoy connecting with adults! Parents On Campus is not a security patrol; rather,r it is a highly visible, volunteer program that promotes campus security through positive parent presence. Your presence will maintain a safe, caring environment for our students. Please report to staff any inappropriate, unsafe, or questionable behaviors you observe.
