Parent Participation Versus Volunteering

Parent Participation

If you are a parent who wants to participate with your child in school activities that are open to all parents for participation, you are not required to have a background check.  

If you have any questions please contact your school’s administrators or your child’s classroom teacher regarding opportunities for parent participation.

 Volunteering

If you are a parent, a family member, or a community person desiring to serve as a school volunteer then you are required to have a background check.  

Examples of how school volunteers may be used include field trip chaperones, classroom volunteers, assisting with enrichment opportunities,  etc.

• Volunteers are individuals who willingly undertake a service of an assigned task performed within our schools and are approved by the school administration.
• Volunteers are business partners, senior citizens, family members, and community members who care about schools and want to be involved in the education of our children.
• Volunteers participate in a classroom setting during the school day or outside the school setting as part of an extracurricular activity.
• Volunteers are utilized in a variety of situations in schools, ranging from one time only to monthly, weekly or daily commitments.
• Volunteers are placed in all grades, from pre-kindergarten to high school, and in all subject areas.
• Volunteers play an important role in the success of our schools by providing an extra set of hands, helping increase community support for schools, and giving teachers more time to concentrate on instruction.
