There are multiple ways to get involved and support our children:
Classroom Volunteer Opportunities: Helping teachers with their classrooms, being room parents for class activities, helping with class projects, and being an extra support to the teacher.

For in-classroom volunteers (including chaperoning field trips), you will need receive Volunteer Clearance from the MESD. This requires a background check, fingerprinting, and negative TB test results/assessment. This process only needs to be completed once during your children's entire tenure through middle school.
For more information about whether an opportunity requires Volunteer Clearance, please see here and here. To get started on the clearance process, please fill out a Volunteer Clearance Authorization Form and TB Risk Assessment Form.
