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)
