Volunteers & Chaperones - Required TrainingVisitors - No Training RequiredTraining Instructions ✔️School Volunteers must complete the Mandated Reporter training prior to volunteering. A school volunteer is a non-paid individual who serves, in any auxiliary capacity, under the direction and supervision of school personnel. A volunteer is one who performs any essential duties that an employee could perform such as, but not limited to making copies, filing, escorting students, working with extracurricular activity groups of assisting with lunch duty, media center and front office tasks. Any person who leads or assists student groups or students other than their own in school or extracurricular programs is considered a volunteer. Volunteers will typically serve in this capacity multiple times throughout the school year. All volunteers must complete the Mandated Reporter training prior to volunteering. ✔️Chaperones must complete the Mandated Reporter training prior to attending any off-campus school function. A chaperone is any non-school personnel who attends an off-campus school activity, whether as a parent or official chaperone.
