Volunteer Program

We ❤️ Our Volunteers!

Reminder: All volunteers, no matter how big or small their roles, must have a current volunteer background check on file.

Volunteering can give you the opportunity to try something new, gain experience, be more involved in your child's school, build confidence and meet new people.  Through volunteering you can:

  • Take on a challenge - Getting involved in something new can be a real challenge. Volunteering can help you achieve personal goals, develop new skills and practice your talents. Sometimes a volunteer experience can lead you to something you never even thought about or help you to discover a hobby or interest you were unaware of.

  • Be part of your community – volunteering can help build stronger communities, get involved in your community and feel part of something outside your family or circle of friends.

  • Meet new people - Getting involved as a volunteer will allow you to meet lots of different kinds of people and make new friends.

  • Have fun - Volunteering is an excellent leisure activity. Most volunteers get great enjoyment from what they do - that's why they keep on doing it. Finding new interests and hobbies can be fun, relaxing and energizing.

There are many ways for parents and family members to be involved in our school. For volunteer opportunities and to sign up please check in with your students' teacher or our amazing PTO who are always looking for volunteers.

If you will be in the classroom working with students, chaperoning a field trip, or helping with a special event at school a background check is necessary. Visitors who are here for school functions, parties etc. will not be required to have a background check. These background checks are good for 1 calendar year and will have to be re-submitted every year for updated information. Please follow the link to the volunteer background application as well as more information on the process.

GOOD DEED CODE

We do not publish the Good Deed Code, so we direct volunteers to start at the DPS Volunteer Services website.  The purple Volunteer Background Check Portal tab is hyperlinked to the Sterling Volunteers DPS prepaid account landing page (see below).  When using this link, payment is not required. If you are having trouble with the application please contact sterling Volunteers directly for assistance. All of their information is on the application page. 

If you have any questions about the volunteer process please contact the Main Office for further assistance.
