Visiting and Volunteering at Heather Hills

Visitor Policy

When a parent desires to visit a classroom during the day, a 24 hour notice must be provided before the request is approved. Per the Administrative Procedure (AP 0500), family members must be accompanied by a staff member. Please contact the front office for scheduling at 301-805-2730 so that we can ensure a staff member's schedule is cleared to accommodate the request.

Visitors, Volunteers, and Chaperones

All visitors/parents to Heather Hills Elementary School are required to report to the office as soon as they enter the building. Visitors and parent volunteers need to check in and receive a visitor sticker to wear while they are in the school building. It is important for the safety and instruction of our children that visitors do not go to the classrooms until after they have checked into the office. Once your visit is concluded, please report to the office to sign out.

To ensure the safety and security of all students and staff, parent volunteers and chaperones need to refrain from bringing younger children who do not attend Heather Hills into the building during school events while school is in session. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in maintaining a safe and focused environment for all our students.

Please click on the link below for Q/A and follow the steps. Once you have completed the steps you must also complete the Safe Schools training.

Volunteers and Chaperones

We invite you to serve as a volunteer or chaperone. Please complete the Volunteer Interest Survey. Note that you must complete/renew your volunteer application and complete the SafeSchool videos each school year. The background screening process is a one time requirement. Consider completing this process early to prepare for opportunities to volunteer and chaperone in the fall.
