Mayville School District Volunteer Program
Thank you for your interest in becoming a school volunteer! The Mayville School District encourages volunteer relationships which support community and family involvement in our schools.
Becoming a Volunteer
Parents and community members who are interested in volunteering at school need to complete an online volunteer application and be prepared to show a Government-issued photo ID upon initial entry to one of our buildings. Since the safety and well-being of students, staff, and volunteers are paramount, criminal background checks are conducted on all prospective volunteers. All volunteer registration forms are kept on file in the district. Staff requests for volunteers are filled from the volunteer pool. Efforts are made to offer volunteer assignments in areas where a volunteer expressed interest and feels comfortable. If, at any time, you find that the volunteer assignment given to you is not comfortable or appropriate, please contact the building administrator. Remember that NO ASSIGNMENT IS PERMANENT. We are always willing to work with you on finding the best assignment.
What Volunteers Do
- Volunteers do provide opportunities for enrichment and reinforcement of skills for students.
- Volunteers do prepare materials for staff that provide instruction for students.
- Volunteers do enrich the school program by sharing their experiences and talents with students.
- Volunteers do assist with co-curricular activities.
- Volunteers do assist school staff by providing supervision on the playground, on field trips, and during athletic practices/events.
What Volunteers Do Not Do
- Volunteers do not administer discipline. If you have behavioral concerns, speak to supervising staff.
- Volunteers do not interrogate students or investigate problems. Please report any problems to the supervising staff member or a building administrator.
- Volunteers do not administer medication or deal with health-related issues. Please contact the school nurse or the building administrator in regard to student health concerns.
