Volunteer Information

 Henry Ford classroom teachers and staff welcome parents, guardians, and grandparents to volunteer their time and/or expertise.

All volunteers must fill out a RCSD Volunteer Form and submit proper documentation to the district office prior to volunteering.  https://www.rcsdk8.net/our-programs-and-services/human-resources/volunteer. If you have completed the volunteer form already, then you do not need to repeat each year.  

Please follow regular visitor procedures, including signing in at the office and wearing a name tag.  We welcome your help in the following areas when you’re available to do so:  

  • Being a chaperone on a field trip

  • Reading to students or listening to students read 

  • Helping out with special events

  • Assisting teachers in the classroom

  • Preparing activity packets or Thursday folders

  • Assisting in our Library or Makerspace

  • Being a reading or math tutor

  • Art in Action docent (training provided)

  • Project Cornerstone (monthly school wide book readings in classrooms)

  • Music for Minors docent in the kindergarten and first grade classrooms (training provided)
