Volunteering At Madison
Madison in the process of bringing volunteers back into the building. To be a volunteer, you must be fully vaccinated (booster not required) and have completed this volunteer background check.
At this point, we would love to put together two teams of volunteers. The first team would help with prepping materials in the office during times that work for each volunteer. The second team would help with supervision at recess and lunch. If you are interested in volunteering for either of these teams, please complete this brief form. This form needs to be completed by January 17th.
I also have individual teachers that are interested in in-class support. Those specific teachers will reach out to their current families to gauge interest. If your teacher is able to have volunteers in the classroom, they will reach out to you. Please do not contact teachers about volunteering unless they reach out first.
