Volunteers

All new and returning volunteers are required to submit a volunteer application and pass the criminal history/background check each year, beginning in July until the cutoff date, which is the beginning of May. We will not accept volunteer applications in May.

The criminal history/background check usually takes up to a week to complete.

No, though there are costs associated with the criminal history/background check, NCISD does not pass the charges on to the volunteers.

It is recommended that all volunteers, including parents, grandparents or guardians who wish to participate in field trips, field day, carnivals, etc., become a NCISD designated volunteer. Parents can show up and accompany their child’s class on most school-sponsored field trips without needing to be a volunteer (exceptions would be tours with limited seating). Becoming a volunteer ahead of time will allow you to better assist teachers by being able to chaperone small groups of students and possibly ride the school bus.

No, becoming a volunteer is not necessary to attend class parties.

Parents, grandparents, or guardians who wish to attend student performances, assemblies, or conferences with teachers or administrators do not need to be volunteers.
