Hall Monitor

Helps direct kids from dismissal from the sanctuary to their classrooms.

Help parents find the right space for their children
Make sure all kids get safely to the classrooms, none are left alone
Be sure that any kids registered late are brought to their classroom

Unlock doors for parents called, or keep an eye on kids coming out of their classroom for a washroom break, making sure they go back safely to their classroom.

Time Commitment: join the kids as they are dismissed from the adult service until all kids have found their classrooms safely, then remain in the monitoring area until the kids are dismissed.

Check-In / Check-Out

Assist parents with check in and enter new families into the system.

Ensure kids are checked into the correct classes.
Check out and release kids back to the correct parent after service.

Time Commitment: Remain at the check-in station from 1 hour prior to the service to 10 minutes after worship starts, then again when children are dismissed to check in any late-comers. Finally, as the adult service is wrapping up, we need this volunteer to return to the kids ministry area and assist in checking out the children and ensuring young children return safely to the parent who checked them in.
