Welcome And Thank You To Our Amazing Volunteers!
There are many opportunities to become involved in our school district, from one-time events to programs that meet weekly. We are seeking to partner with parents, grandparents, family members, and community members. Our Volunteer Program aims to recruit volunteers for specific opportunities, train and recognize volunteers, and provide a meaningful experience for both the school and the volunteer. We will be using Volunteer Tracker, a software designed for school systems. Instead of a paper sign in, volunteers will be asked to sign in and out electronically through this system by using their phones. The purpose of using an electronic sign in/out is to provide a safe learning environment for all students and staff. Volunteer Tracker is a portal to find volunteer opportunities across the district.
Once you complete your application, you will be notified via email of any volunteer opportunities that match your interests. These emails will come directly from Volunteer Tracker. Please make sure to open these emails as we are excited to invite parents and community members into our learning spaces with different volunteer opportunities!
