Volunteer Proctors Needed for SFHS Testing

Seaforth High School is seeking parent volunteers to serve as proctors for our major testing events this year. We administer the PSAT, PreACT, ACT, and AP Exams—important assessments that help our students succeed.

When classroom teachers proctor these exams, they're pulled away from teaching. This means fewer lessons for students and increased stress on our educators. By volunteering just a few hours, you can help keep our teachers in the classroom where they're needed most.

Volunteer proctors help supervise students during testing, ensuring a fair and quiet testing environment. No special knowledge required—we provide all the training and materials you'll need.

Important Note: Volunteer proctors cannot supervise a testing room where their own child or a close relative is taking the test. This helps keep testing fair for all students.

Whether you can volunteer for one exam session or multiple events throughout the year, your help matters. Sign up today and support both our students and our dedicated teaching staff.

Once you complete the Chatham County Schools online application, please email the testing coordinator, Michelle Moody (mmoody@chatham.k12.nc.us), to have your name added to the volunteer proctor email list. Throughout the year, you'll receive emails with information about upcoming tests and volunteer needs.

To become eligible to volunteer:

• New Volunteers should complete an online application.

• Volunteers that were approved for the previous school year should renew their approval for the current school year. 

• Prior to volunteering in the schools, please read our Volunteer Handbook, which outlines the policies and procedures for volunteers.

• Applications may be updated as needed after they are initially submitted. In the interest of student safety, volunteer duties that potentially allow unsupervised interactions with students (Level 1) require a criminal background check. The district will conduct background checks after the necessary paperwork has been submitted online.

• Prior approval must be granted before volunteers participate in Level 1 activities, and we will inform applicants about their approval status via email.

• Please note, you must submit your application a minimum of 2-weeks prior to the field trip/volunteer date.  It could take 2 days (minimum) up to 2 or more weeks for our background check company to process your criminal records check.
