HAGGAR CAPTAINS

Lead the way, Mariners!

 

Captains are family volunteers who spend a school day at Haggar as active partners:
welcoming students at carpool, leading small-group practice, helping teachers in the workroom, and supporting lunch, recess, and dismissal.

Your day as a Captain

Captain expectations

Badge on. Check in at the front office, attend a quick 5-minute briefing, and wear your Captain badge all day.
Phones away. Keep your phone silenced and put away while you’re with students. You’ll have break time to check messages.
Every student counts. In small groups and on duty, engage with all students equally, not just your own child.
Keep it confidential. What you see about other students stays at school and isn’t shared with other parents.
Volunteer time only. Captain days aren’t for parent-teacher conferences, so save questions about your child’s progress or behavior for another time.
