ResponsiveEd encourages parents, guardians, grandparents, or other relatives of students to volunteer with the school. Anyone who is interested in participating as a volunteer must submit an application and register as a volunteer with the Campus Director. While the school encourages volunteerism, the safety of each student is vital. In accordance with state law and to ensure the safety of students, annual criminal history background checks for volunteers are required. “Volunteer” means any person who regularly provides services for or on behalf of the school, and includes a person volunteering for a single field-trip or event, on school premises or at a school- sponsored or school-related activity on or off school property, who does not receive compensation in excess of reimbursement for expenses. All volunteers must clear the background check before they can begin volunteer work and must provide an official form of identification. Volunteers must adhere to any and all volunteer guidelines and directions given by the school.
