Helping Your Child With School

Parent Volunteers in Classrooms

Parents can also help out in the classrooms by assisting the teachers, working with students, and helping with paperwork or after school programs. Volunteers may also chaperone field trips or campus events. All parents interested in volunteering must contact the school secretary to schedule an appointment for a LiveScan fingerprinting background check prior to volunteering at school or chaperoning any school events or field trips.
