TuES is excited to partner with family and community members who are interested in joining efforts to support our students and school with their time and talents by way of volunteering.
A volunteer is any interested person willing to donate time to support our school. This service can occur in many ways: working directly with children in the classroom, preparing materials to enhance instruction, helping in our media center or cafeteria, chaperoning field trips, planning school events, and so much more! Volunteers may even provide services from home by completing tasks (cutting, pasting, coloring, etc.) or offering babysitting for other volunteers. Our students and staff are grateful for any time you can offer!
This year, FCPS has enhanced the volunteer process to prioritize the safety and security of our students, staff and community. As a result, we have added additional training to be completed by all volunteers across the county. These trainings will ensure our volunteers are equipped with the necessary information they need to partner with our schools.
Effective Monday, July 15, 2024, family and community members interested in volunteering should begin the volunteer process by visiting our new FCPS Volunteer Webpage. Applicants will be directed to:
1. Register for a guest account on Unified Talent (instructions available online)
2. Complete and pass two training modules on Unified Talent.
3. Complete the registration application in the Volunteer Center.
4. Await school approval on application.
5. Sign-up for volunteer opportunities facilitated by individual schools.
The volunteer training and registration process is completed annually for each school year. Volunteers must complete the process before being signing up for volunteer opportunities. FCPS encourages family and community members interested in volunteering to complete the process early as processing times have increased.
For technical support in Unified Talent, volunteer applicants may contact unifiedtalent@fcps.org. For all other volunteer related questions, volunteer applicants may contact: FCPSVolunteers@fcps.org. FCPS is grateful for the generous support from our family and community volunteers.
Please see the FCPS Volunteer Handbook for detailed information.
For questions that are specific to Tuscarora Elementary School, please reach out to our volunteer coordinator, Marcie Bell at Margaret.Bell@fcps.org.
Volunteers who need to take their students for dismissal must report to the front office to request their child for dismissal. Students may not be released directly from classrooms to parents.
