Parents who signed up to volunteer and then find they can no longer work the shift are responsible for finding a sub.
Volunteers are expected to make their best effort at finding a sub for the shift they signed up to work. If an emergency situation arises, or a sub cannot be found, the volunteer coordinators should be contacted.
