Freedom 7 Elementary Volunteer Policy
Freedom 7 APT's mission is to enhance academic excellence and the educational experience for our students and school community through volunteerism. By sharing time and knowledge, volunteers strengthen the quality of education received at Freedom 7. All volunteers are expected to adhere to the procedures and guidelines set forth in Freedom 7 Elementary's Volunteer Policy document which is provided at the link below.
