Any volunteer that will be with students unsupervised by a district employee or chaperoning a field trip must be fingerprinted. The information and forms for fingerprinting can be obtained at each school location, the district office, and on this website.
Volunteering carries with it the responsibility of being loyal to the school district.
Confidentiality is a must. All information you hear or read is confidential. Do not share this information with others.
An injury or accident that occurs while on school property must be promptly reported to the school office. Volunteers assisting in a classroom, please allow teachers to instruct you in what needs to be done. Discipline is solely the responsibility of the school district staff. If you encounter a problem with a student or see a conflict, contact a staff member to deal with the situation.

It serves as a reference guide and contains detail information on the procedures and guidelines required to volunteer. The guidelines have been established to provide a highly effective “Volunteer” program that complies with state and local laws, and maintains a safe school environment for students and staff members. Please be sure to review the handbook in its entirety prior to completing a Volunteer Packet.

When You Come To Volunteer Please Sign In & Out: All volunteers at each of our school sites are required to sign in at the office and put on a name tag. You must do this each day you volunteer.
