PARENT VOLUNTEERs

Family Partnership & Visitor Guidelines

We love having families involved at OGCS. Your presence helps strengthen our community and creates a more connected, supportive environment for our students.
If you are interested in partnering with us during the school day or at events, please review the following guidelines:

Supervision & Safety
Family partners will always remain under the supervision of OGCS staff
At no time should a parent or visitor be alone with a student or group of students
For safety and liability reasons, visitors are not permitted to assist children in restrooms

General Expectations
All family partners must be listed on the Approved Visitor List
A valid photo ID is required when entering the building
All visitors must check in through the office before going to any classroom or activity

Role During the School Day
While we value your help, staff members are responsible for:
Classroom management and discipline
Instruction and student supervision
Handling any behavioral or safety concerns
If a situation arises, please notify a staff member rather than addressing it directly

Background Checks
If a family member would like to take on a consistent or ongoing role (such as Homeroom Parent, Events Team leadership, or regularly assisting at school), a background check will be required in accordance with state guidelines.
The school will communicate and assist with this process when needed.

Respecting the School Environment
To help maintain a focused and safe learning environment:
Please limit distractions and side conversations during instructional time
Respect classroom routines and teacher direction
Keep all student information confidential
We are so grateful for families who are willing to show up and be part of what makes OGCS special.
Your involvement matters. It makes a difference. And we’re thankful to partner with you.

Experts

Do you have a skill or passion you’d love to share?
We’re looking for community members who are “experts” in their field and willing to volunteer a few days each month to inspire and teach our K–6 students.
Areas of interest might include — but aren’t limited to — woodworking, music, landscaping, building, sewing, or other hands-on skills.
Your time and talents could make a lasting impact!

Supplies

Some of these projects will require specific supplies, and we would be so grateful for your support!
If you have extra materials you'd like to donate, or if you're willing to sponsor a project, your generosity would make a meaningful difference.

Fundraising

We’re always open to fresh fundraising ideas and helping hands!
As an Ohio Christian Non-Chartered, Non-Taxable school, OGCS does not receive government funding. We are committed to being faithful stewards of the resources God has provided and work diligently to keep tuition affordable for our families.
Still, our budget remains tight—and support from our community plays a vital role in helping us reach our goals and continue providing a Christ-centered education.
If you have ideas or are willing to help, we’d love to hear from you!
