School Ambassador Committees
Welcome Committee
This group of ambassadors will be in charge of welcoming new parents/families to Daniels Run. This may include giving a tour of the school (training necessary) and answering parent questions after the tour. We would like to have some kind of welcome gift/information (different from what gets sent home) for parents to refer to. Parents should also be invited to view the storyboard online, or attend a session at the Family Resource Center in their home language.
Phone Committee
We have a phone line with a numbered menu, each number dedicated to a particular language. This phone number will be posted on all event flyers and will give families an opportunity to call and ask questions about the event in their own language. We need a committee to respond to these phone calls, in addition to making calls regarding events or to relay important information (i.e. late opening or early dismissal). This is a good committee for those who may have trouble coming to school, but are available to volunteer from home.
Publishing Committee
This group will be responsible for written translations (i.e. the PTA Newsletter). Since some of the correspondence may represent the school, you will be required to get tested to be sure that your written skills qualify. More information to follow. Some of you may consider getting evaluated for both oral and written skills in order to become an official (paid) interpreter/translator for FCPS.
Marketing Committee
We need a group who is dedicated to informing others about who the School Ambassadors are and what we do. This group will work on the PTA bulletin board display, name tags for events, and a written flyer (that will be translated) to explain the role of the School Ambassadors.
Storyboard/Information Committee
What do new families need to know about Daniels Run? This group will create the content for the storyboard based on frequently asked questions; this will be put on the Daniels Run website, and can be viewed in the Family Resource Center. This will be the “story” of Daniels Run accompanied by pictures.
All School Ambassadors will be provided with basic training which includes information about the school, and who they should call in order to answer questions for parents. The role of the School Ambassador is to help make ALL parents feel comfortable, and an integral part of the Daniels Run community by encouraging them to attend events, identifying ways in which others can volunteer, and eliminate misunderstandings.
