Parent Volunteers

Parents,

All parents need to apply as a school volunteer in order to accompany students on field trips and/or volunteer in the classroom. Parents should sign up on cpsvolunteers.org. The application to apply is found here and parents can choose either English or Spanish. 

I suggest you apply for Level II which does not require a TB test nor a background check.
