   1. Yard Duty or Crossing Guard volunteers can ONLY switch shift(s) with a current volunteer already assigned to those positions.

   2. Library volunteers may switch shifts with another volunteer ONLY within library. Make up shift for library will be allowed, it needs to be completed in the same month of the missed shift. This must be communicated to the school librarian, if the shift is not completed in within the same month it will then be considered a "no show".

   3. All other positions can be fulfilled by any parish, school or family member that meets the age and physical requirement to fulfill the assigned job.
