Volunteers Needed:

 From Montclaire Elementary:
Volunteers are needed for Montclaire's EOG (End of Grade) Assessments! MANY of our students receive accommodations causing us to need a large number of proctors. These accommodations help our students do their absolute BEST work! To volunteer as a proctor or for more information, visit here.

We GREATLY appreciate you signing up for one (or more!!) days to proctor. Sessions typically take about three and a half hours, yet they can run over as well. The day you sign up, you will be quickly trained in your responsibilities as a proctor.
A proctor's main responsibilities are being an extra set of eyes to ensure the test administrator is being ethical and providing a valid testing environment.

Proctors should plan to arrive at Montclaire by 7:00- allowing for a quick training and then placement with test administrator.
Proctors are required to be a registered, CMS volunteer. If this process is not yet complete, it usually takes about 1 week. It is a simple application that can be accessed at www.cmsvolunteers.com!
Thank you in advance for helping our students!

Note About Who We Are:
 The direction we believe God has given us is to grow into being a multi-cultural congregation. A one-mile radius around our building includes 4% Asian, 19% African-American, 42% White, and 32% Hispanic or Latino neighbors. We best re-present God's Kingdom and God's love when we are together.  This is substantive work. We're getting better at approximating God's goal, but we're not there yet. We need to learn from people like you. We believe in the vision that Jesus gave us when he fed the 5,000, a vision in which we'll all be fed and healed at Jesus' feet together. We hope that we can partner with you in this work.
