MSD Washington Township

Thank you for your interest in volunteering with MSDWT. A strong base of volunteers is essential to provide the necessary supports to students’ academic, social, and emotional development. While we welcome volunteers into our school community, we must also be diligent in providing a safe and secure environment for our students.

Starting July 1, 2014, additional requirements will be in effect. All requirements must be completed prior to volunteer approval. Criminal background checks are required for all volunteers, and, as in the past, the level of the required background check will differ depending on the nature of supervision a volunteer provides to our students. The following sections has a set of requirements you will need  to complete based on your volunteering interest(s):

General (Limited) Volunteer Requirements

General volunteer examples include, but are not limited to:

• Providing teachers with assistance in the classroom
• Supervising playgrounds or lunches
• Assisting at events in school such as plays, convocations, or presentations
• Assisting at events outside of school such as festivals, plays, concerts, or meetings
• Supervising or chaperoning trips that do not require overnight student participation

Volunteers must consent to a limited criminal history check by clicking the Limited Criminal History Check link below.
