Steps for volunteer application

VOLUNTEERS MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Morningside Elementary believes that one of the keys to a successful education is in strong partnerships with families. We encourage and celebrate a strong partnership with parents. Family socials, curriculum nights, student performances, and joining children for lunch help you meet classmates and neighbors.

School Volunteer Program: Volunteers are an essential part of the MSE school program. Volunteers provide a variety of services from correcting papers, chaperoning field trips, assisting at School Day Events, and much, much more!  We value our parents and consider them a true partner at Morningside!

To further enhance student safety, all school volunteers will now be required to complete a Level 2 background screening, which includes fingerprinting.
Key Updates:
  • Fingerprinting Requirement (Valid for 5 Years):
    • All volunteers must complete a Level 2 background screening every five years. The cost is $75, and fingerprinting can be completed at the District Office during onboarding hours (8:00 AM–2:00 PM, no appointment necessary).
    • Volunteers who continue beyond five years will be required to renew their fingerprinting and pay the associated fee at that time.
  • Annual Volunteer Application:
    • Volunteers must continue to submit a new application each school year to remain eligible.
  • Volunteer Badge Fee:
    • A $6 annual fee will be required for the issuance of a volunteer badge, which is mandatory for campus access.
    • Please note: Volunteer badges expire at the end of each school year and must be renewed annually. The renewal fee will be collected at the time of the application submission for the new school year.
Compliance Reminders:
  • No Badge, No Volunteering:
    • Volunteers must have a current badge to be permitted on campus. No exceptions will be made.
  • Plan Ahead:
    • Volunteers are encouraged to complete their application and fingerprinting well in advance of their intended start date to allow time for processing and clearance.
