Volunteer

kids in class

We are thrilled to have the help, support and presence of our volunteer parents. In order to provide a safe environment, where children are our first priority, we need to adhere to following procedures:

  • Check-in procedure: It is essential that all volunteers in the building sign in and use visitor badges provided by the school.
  • Confidentiality: Educators recognize the importance of confidentiality. Everyone is more secure in an environment where the privacy of the child and the child's family is respected. We expect the same commitment to confidentiality from our volunteers as we do from ourselves.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES – PTO

We have a strong tradition of volunteering at Clear Springs. Parents, guardians, and family members are involved in so many aspects of our children’s education. We hope everyone interested can find at least one way to help each year.  Visit the PTO Page for a list of upcoming events and Sign Up links.

VOLUNTEERING IN THE CLASSROOM

Parents are encouraged to volunteer in their children’s classroom. Teachers will typically have classroom volunteer opportunities available at Curriculum Night and will communicate other volunteer needs throughout the year.

Background Check Process for Volunteers

Thank you for your interest in volunteering in our schools. We value your time and talent.

To ensure the safety of our students, we require criminal background checks on the following:

  • Any volunteer who accompanies students off campus (i.e., chaperones for field trips).
  • Any volunteer who is responsible for working with students on campus (including virtual experiences, such as Tonka Online).
  • Former employees interested in volunteering are required to complete a volunteer background check.

If in doubt, complete a background check

The online criminal background check form requires you to provide authorization for a variety of criminal background checks. The administrative fee for a background check is $9.75 (payment must be made online by credit or debit card). 

If you would like to confirm whether you have a cleared volunteer background check on file, please contact the main office at your student’s school.

Thank you for your cooperation as we continue to maintain a safe and secure educational environment for our students.
