Getting Started As a Volunteer
If you would like to volunteer, complete a Volunteer Information form and hand it into your local school office. At that time, they will give you the volunteer information for that school site and, if required, they will give you a Fingerprint form.
Bring that Fingerprint form to Human Resources in the District office to be fingerprinted.
We cannot process your fingerprints without the Fingerprint form from your school.
