Front Office Volunteers Needed
Gulledge head count has already reached a total of 780 students! This number brings a great amount of caution in terms of safety measures. As a result, front office staff is in a great need of parent volunteers in the morning hours between 7:40 AM to 8:10 AM to help checking in tardy students and lead them to their classrooms through the locked doors. It is just a matter of 20 to 30 minutes of time that brings huge difference to the front office repsresentatives. Please consider helping out and do our part! |
