Volunteer at Slavens

"It takes a village to raise a child"
    -Benin Proverb, from Scholastic's Treasury of Quotations for Children

Volunteering is a key aspect of "Building a Slavens Community." This school was reopened due to the efforts of volunteers. Parental involvement in school is an asset, a key building block that helps kids succeed. Please find the time to play an active role in enhancing your child's education by volunteering. Become involved - it makes a difference!

In the office you will find Slavens Volunteer Handbook. Within the book you will find many opportunities to be involved at Slavens. Please find one or several opportunities that fit your interests and schedule. Fill in the necessary information and return the stub to the school office. You can also contact the volunteer coordinator, Ashley Kilroy. The Volunteer Coordinator will get your information to the appropriate chairperson, and you will be contacted. Following is a summary of opportunities listed in the Slavens Volunteer Handbook. A more complete description can be found in the handbook itself.



CSC

CSC stands for Collaborative School Committee. The Denver Public Schools began these committees (originally CDM) in 1991 as part of an agreement between the district and the Denver Classroom Teachers Association, for every school in the district. CSC brings together two great concepts: site-based management and shared decision making. Find out more about CSC here.
