Volunteers may include parents/guardians, other family members, our partners, and members of the community interested in supporting education that have an interest in investing their time and talents to support students in Stafford.

Complete the volunteer application and schedule a time for fingerprinting with the Department of Safety, Security & Risk Management.

It is of the utmost importance to Stafford Schools that we gather all the information required to maintain a safe learning environment for our students and staff.

Please note: We are not able to accept fingerprint results from other establishments in lieu of administering our own background check. The reports generated when fingerprinting takes place can vary by establishment.

To best support school staff and students, volunteers are expected to follow these procedures each time they volunteer:

• Volunteers must sign-in and sign-out of the building using the Visitor Identification System (VIS).
• Volunteers must wear the VIS produced volunteer identification name tag at all times while on school property.
• Volunteers may not access confidential student or personnel records and should respect the confidentiality of students.
• Volunteers working with students must be within view of other Stafford Schools staff members and avoid unsupervised, one-on-one student contact.

The best way to begin volunteering is to contact Volunteer Liaison or contact a school directly to find out what volunteer opportunities are available.
