Feel the H.E.A.T. with Fultonvale Volunteers

Fultonvale School is fortunate to work with dedicated volunteers who exemplify our school motto of H.E.A.T. (demonstrating heart, excellence, positive attitude and teamwork).  We are a mindful community, avoiding distractions to be fully present with our students.  Volunteers extend and enhance student learning and act as positive role models for our students.  Fultonvale has enjoyed a long and rich tradition of volunteering.  Volunteers positively impact the learning environment in a variety of ways.  Volunteers share their time, talents and energy and are important partners in our school community.

Visitors

Visitors are welcome at Fultonvale, but we ask that they sign in at the office and obtain a visitor badge which should be worn while in the building.  Visitors are asked to respect the importance of instructional time and not interrupt classes by asking to speak to teachers or students during this time.  Teachers are pleased to make appointments outside of class hours.
