How does the Hallway Heroes program work?

Each campus operates its own Hallway Heroes program. Generally, the campus will have a "launch" event at the start of the school year and a second event in January. At these events, you can learn more about the program on a particular campus, how signing up and scheduling works, and who the campus contact is for the program. Campuses are happy to have volunteers for as little or as much time as someone can provide. All Hallway Heroes must be approved by the district as a volunteer, before you can get started.
