Volunteers
The Derry School Board is very proud of its school volunteers and the many years of service they have given to the students and schools of Derry. The Derry Cooperative School District considers all volunteers to be Designated Volunteers. Our staff and students benefit greatly from the dedication of these individuals, and we welcome all who wish to donate their time to our schools. Because the safety of our students and staff is our highest priority, the District has established the following requirements for individuals wishing to volunteer:
• Derry residents: Residents must register at their school office. We encourage volunteers to offer their services to the school in their district of residence. Once you register with one school, you are also considered registered for any additional schools you sign up for at that time. Background and fingerprint checks are required before volunteering can begin. Your school will inform you of our updated process.
• Non-residents: Nonresidents (other than relatives of a student) who wish to volunteer must be interviewed by the building principal or designee. Nonresident volunteers must also have a Derry resident volunteer sponsor who will support their application.
• All volunteers must agree to comply with the Regulations supporting our District’s policies:
- School Board Policy IJOC: School Volunteers
- School Board Policy IJOC-R: Important Regulations for Volunteers (Volunteer
Service Statement & Agreement MUST be completed and returned to desired school) - School Board Policy JLF: Reporting Child Abuse or Neglect
