Chaperones,
Being a chaperone for the CRHS Cougar Band is a fun and rewarding experience. Our mission is to support the band by monitoring the health, safety, and whereabouts of all band students while traveling to and from each event, while students are at every on and off campus event. Events include football games, contests, parades, trips and other possible special events. We support our CRHS Cougar Band mission in a number of ways: checking students onto/off of buses, supervising students on the buses, providing water and basic first aid while in the stands and as they move from location to location at events, and making sure all students are accounted for and supervised from the minute we leave the school until the minute we return.
Chaperone duties involve some long, tiring, hot/cold/rainy/sunny/windy days, and can be considered hard volunteer work. Unlike passively enjoying/watching a performance from the stands, chaperones get the unique behind-the-scenes involvement with everything the band goes through before and after performances, including ON FIELD access at some events.
Requirements for Chaperone Volunteers:
-
Chaperone Training – mandatory training provided annually, prior to fall marching season. Great detail about what to expect and how to handle various situations that may arise while chaperoning and how to best handle it. Guidelines and rules are discussed. Click here for the presentation outline
-
Each year, all chaperones must sign and turn in a KISD Hold Harmless Agreement.
-
*NEW – Clearance through Katy ISD Raptor – Raptor instantly screens for volunteer safety, including registered sex offenders and other crimes that would disqualify a volunteer from working with students. The Raptor system also discretely manages custody situations, visitors, students, faculty and all adult campus volunteers. Raptor’s web-based technology is focused on keeping all our students safe. This is a Cinco Ranch High School and Katy ISD required screening. The Katy ISD District has implemented a new step for ALL volunteers. Please contact the Chaperone Chair, volunteer chair, or sign up through your Cinco Ranch Campus Email once you receive the volunteer raptor information.
Thank you for choosing to donate your valuable time to protect our students. We appreciate the dedication it takes to go through training and to come to band student events throughout the year.
