Dear Princess Anne Family, As the year comes to an end, I too, will be finishing my career of 31 years here at Princess Anne Elementary. I have enjoyed my time and have so many fond memories of my years here, at what has become my second home. Many changes have occurred during my tenure and it is impressive to see what we have become from back when there was no gym and no air condition-ing, to a new wing, library and all the advances in technology. Who would have thought???? Thank you to all the staff, students and parents for making these years so awesome. I will miss everyone and wish you all much success and happiness as you move forward. Sincerely, Mrs. Killmeyer

Our Volunteers (YOU!) are AWESOME!

Please help by remembering to log your volunteer hours at: vbschools.com/get connected.

You can even BULK upload your hours (or even an estimate of your hours) to get caught up for the year.

Volunteer hours are very important to PAES and VBCPS because in some instances grant applications ask

school divisions to estimate the dollars they SAVE by the work done by their AMAZING VOLUNTEERS

(again — YOU!). And, when you think of it that way …

Logging YOUR Volunteer Hours = MORE MONEY FOR OUR SCHOOLS!

Questions? Please contact Volunteer Liaison, Emily Assmus: paepta@gmail.com.

• Thank you to everyone who volunteered or donated items for Field Day and Staff Appreciation!• Thank you to all of our AWESOME Room Parents for coordinating Class Baskets for the Summer BBQ Bash

coming up on June 8th from 5:30-7:30 pm. And THANK YOU to all of your amazing families and teachers fordonating items for the baskets! It is a fun event and the PTA is looking forward to seeing you all there!

Tracking VBCPSVOLUNTEERS HOURS

Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS) values and promotes active engagement of the community in all our schools. The Office of Community Engagement coordinates many opportunities for community members to interact and contribute to the academic achievement of our students and the overall continuous improvement of VBCPS.

Parents, community members, businesses and organizations are able to support students, staff and school initiatives through the Volunteers in Education and Partners in Education programs.

Volunteer opportunities may include: • Serving as tutors, mentors or guest speakers • Providing assistance in classrooms, cafeterias, libraries or main offices • Organizing student enrichment and recognition activities • Supporting special events, athletics, school planning councils and advisory boards

How to Track Volunteer Hours

1

Click HOURS on the ribbon located at vbschools.com/getconnected.

2 Select LOG HOURS.

3 Select INDIVIDUAL to log your hours each time you volunteer at the

school OR select ORGANIZATION to log many hours at one time.

When would you select ORGANIZATION?

-- If you are an individual logging more than 12 hours of service

at one time.

-- If you are logging hours for a large number of volunteers at one time.

-- If you are a Partner in Education logging hours for your group.

4 Complete the required fields denoted with an asterisk (*).

*If you are logging hours for the first time, please include your email

and phone number. You will only do this one time this year.

5 When selecting TYPE, if you select “Partner,” “Program Mentor,” “Club” or

“Other,” please type the specific name of your group in the box.

✖ PLEASE NOTE: The Raptor system does not track volunteer hours. Schools should document volunteer hours by using the Get Connected site at www.vbschools.com/getconnected.

WHY DOES VBCPS TRACK VOLUNTEER HOURS?

Thousands of individuals

serve as volunteers in our

schools each year. In fact,

during the 2016–2017 school

year, nearly 22,000 Volunteers

and Partners in Education

donated more than 330,000

hours of service to VBCPS.

The value of this service is

estimated at $7.9 million.*

VBCPS can use this calculation

to quantify the value of service

and apply for federal grants

that ultimately benefit our

schools and students!

*Calculations based on the Independent Sector

Organization’s estimated hourly value of volunteer time for 2016,

which is $24.14 per hour.

Events – Hours can be entered using the Organization tab. Name can indicate the title of the event. An estimate of the number of volunteers and total hours served can be provided in lieu of logging each individual volunteer.

Clubs/Coaching – Club sponsors and coaches can estimate a total number of volunteers and total hours weekly, monthly or at the end of a season. Name can indicate the club or sport.
