Become a Volunteer

As parents of students at Desert Star Community School, you are given the opportunity to grow with your children in a unique educational environment. Parent participation is an essential and integral part of your children’s educational experience and serves to unify families and create a strong sense of community. Many of our activities and programs rely on the skill and generosity of parents. For this reason, it is vital to the success of Desert Star that families actively participate in various school events and activities.

We are requesting that all families contribute a minimum of 50 per year in service to the school. For volunteering in the classroom, please contact your teacher or the school administrator. Volunteers must sign in and out at the office. Please keep track of your hours. If unable to volunteer hours, you may choose to make a financial contribution in support of the school.

Please note that parent volunteers who are directly supervised and within eyesight of a teacher will not need a fingerprint card. Those who are alone with students in a classroom, the playground, or driving on a field trip will be required to have fingerprint clearance on file. Also parents who attend school sponsored overnight field trips are required to have fingerprint clearance. If you are planning on volunteering regularly or driving for field trips please come to the school office for fingerprinting instructions and forms. This precaution is for the safety of your child and all the children in the school.

To volunteer on a committee, please go to the parent resource section to read about the various committees that support the school. Thank you for your involvement and for being an active part of our school community!
