Volunteers Needed During IB Senior Exams
Our IB Seniors will be sitting for their final IB Exams between May 7 and May 24, which is the culmination of their years of hard work in the IB program. IB Exams are g
iven off-site at St. Patrick's Church. Volunteers are needed to monitor the room where students drop off their backpacks, lunches, and congregate before and after their exams. Having a parent monitor the holding room ensures a smooth exam process and provides peace of mind for our students. Volunteers may bring work or reading materials during their volunteer time.
We are also asking for help providing some snacks and bottled water on the dates when there are morning and afternoon IB Exams scheduled. If you can help with these, please sign up
Parent volunteers from any grade level are encouraged to signup to assist. This is a great way to learn more about the IB Exam process prior to your student's senior year!
There are still slots unfilled for May 20-25!
Thank you for your help supporting our IB Seniors!
