Parent Volunteering

Volunteer Opportunities

Booster Club and Store
  • The Skippers Booster Club welcomes interested parents who have a current student at MHS. Board positions are available, as well as committee volunteer opportunities. Learn more on the Skippers Booster Club page.
School Event Volunteers
  • Parent volunteers are needed to support the MHS administration and Student Government activities. This includes back to school week (ID photo taking and handout), homecoming week (t-shirt and dance ticket sales), staff luncheons during Parent-Teacher Conferences, Heart Week (t-shirt and dance ticket sales) and prom (ticket sales). Shifts are fun, flexible and typically last 1.5 hours. Our volunteers play a key role in the success of these school events. Please contact the parent volunteer coordinator to join and for more information: Tonkavols@gmail.com

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.

Student Activities

Important information

We are thrilled to have the help, support and presence of our volunteer parents. In order to provide a safe environment, where students 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 student and the student's family is respected. We expect the same commitment to confidentiality from our volunteers as we do from ourselves.
