The 'COOL CREW' at CCE
Thursday 'At School' Helpers
As a way to organize our Thursday Helpers, we've created a Sign Up Genius.
- Before you volunteer at school, you MUST have a background check completed. Follow this link: https://apps2.winocular.com/coppell/workspace/
- The time slot lists 8am-2pm. However, your time spent at school will NOT take this entire block. This is simply a window of time to come up and volunteer when it works best with your schedule that day. There is a spot on the Sign Up Genius for you to list approximately what time you are planning on coming to volunteer so that additional volunteers can coordinate if you'd like to work together. THANK YOU for helping FIRST GRADE!
