Volunteer
About the Role
District Volunteer Assistive, partially independent, or independent volunteers provide unpaid services to the school district under the direct supervision of a teacher or administrator. Volunteer activities range from indirect support of students and school operations to more involved roles, including daily and overnight chaperones and coaching.
The district is transitioning to electronic submission of all volunteer forms, allowing volunteers to apply once for all school buildings where they plan to volunteer.
