Parents, families, and members of the community are welcome to volunteer in the school library. Per MCPS policy, the following steps must be completed in order to volunteer in our school building: 

• Complete the Parent/Guardian and Community Volunteer Form to introduce yourself, share your volunteering interests and scheduling availability. This form shares important reminders about volunteering at school. 

• Complete the mandatory online training for volunteers. This training is required for any volunteer who regularly supports schools, chaperones a field trip, etc., and can be accessed in multiple languages. When the course is completed, a report is created to serve as written documentation of satisfying this requirement. Visit the Volunteers page on the MCPS website to access support guides and FAQs about this training.

• Contact Ms. Lange and Ms. Chuk with your Parent/Guardian and Community Volunteer Form and online training completion report. Ms. Chuk will reach out to get you started in the library!

• Shelving returned books 

• Organizing/reorganizing shelves

• Creating displays and bulletin boards
