Volunteering?

At Hawks View, we depend upon the help of volunteers throughout the school year. According to Sherwood School District policy, a new Background Check Form and Volunteer Release Form must be submitted and cleared each year prior to volunteering. You can do your Background Check here: Online Background Check

Volunteering at Hawks View is easy - just follow these simple steps:

Complete the online Background Check form and Instructional Volunteer Release form and return to the school office
Add yourself to the Hawks View Volunteer database by visiting www.helpcounter.net/volunteer. Follow the instructions to add/update your contact information.
After following the instructions given on the website, you will receive an email from HOPKINS PTAC or Hawks View PAC asking you to click on "HelpCounter Update". This will take you to your profile to make changes, add information, and select activities for which you want to volunteer.

As volunteers are needed for the different activities, school support functions, and fundraisers, you will be contacted with information about dates, times, and getting started! When volunteering at the school, all volunteers sign in to the HelpCounter at the front office.

Thank you to all the volunteers that make Hawks View a great place! Your interest in our children's education is priceless!

We appreciate the commitment all our volunteers make. We know that time and schedules can be a challenge, but Hawks View is full of many parents, relatives and involved community members who love to help.
