Volunteers
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Trinity Christian School volunteer. You will be joining a growing group of dedicated parents and grandparents who function in valued positions and are greatly appreciated. To further the security of our TCS students, the School Advisory Committee and The School Board have approved the volunteer packet, which adheres to the State policy HB 7069 guidelines for volunteer background screening.
What Does A Volunteer Do?
The typical volunteer offers his/her services during part or all of a day. The hours and days you volunteer will be agreed upon with the staff member with whom you are volunteering. Staff members are generally not able to accommodate volunteers who request to work in their child’s classroom, since it is sometimes distracting for the child. It is required that volunteers sign in and out with the front desk and wear their volunteer badge at all times.
Application Process
All required application forms must be filled out and returned to the Elementary School front office. Volunteering can only begin after paperwork processing is completed. It may take up to two weeks from the date of submission to process the required forms and perform a background screening, so please plan accordingly. We recommend starting the process as soon as possible!
