Volunteers provide supportive and supplemental services under the direction and supervision of a teacher or staff member within/for a school. Volunteers must complete a background check in order to be an approved PCSSD volunteer. Volunteering includes any interaction with a group of students at a school-sanctioned event, whether it's at the school or off campus. By volunteering in our schools you are making a difference in the lives of our students, providing needed support to teachers and staff, and helping with the many activities and events during the school year.
