Family Involvement
Volunteer Opportunities
- Fund Run October 3rd
- School events-- dates to come in future newsletters
- Support in classrooms
- Offering and/or supervising an after school club
- To be able to volunteer at MLSD: You must speak with the teachers you are wishing to volunteer for to make sure they will have need for you. Once that has been done, you are required to fill out a Volunteer Packet / Background Check (which you can get from the office or print from here). Once that has been processed, you will receive an email to complete the required online training videos via Vector Safe Schools. Once your background check is cleared and all required online training is complete, then the teacher will contact you to pre-arrange days/times with you.
