Thank you to each and every one of our volunteers. We couldn't do it without YOU!
Volunteers are an important part of our school community, and we appreciate your interest in getting involved. Before volunteering on campus or chaperoning a field trip, please complete the required steps outlined below. Background checks and volunteer agreements must be completed each school year and are valid from July 1 through June 30.
Step 1: Background Check
The background check application is simple and takes only 5 minutes to complete. Visit the Raptor site here to fill out the background check application. Raptor is a paid service and there is a $6 processing fee. It can take up to 48 hours for your background check to process.
Once your background check has been completed, you will receive an email from the Raptor System with the subject, “Volunteer Application Approved”. Please be sure to save this email confirmation.
Step 2: Complete the Mandatory Volunteer Training and Agreements
This form outlines PSO volunteer expectations and confidentiality requirements. Please carefully read through the information in the form, answer the questions, and provide your electronic signature for each section of the agreement. Volunteer Training and Agreements Form
Step 3: Sign up to help!
Sign up for a volunteer shift using our Sign Up Genius links. You must be signed up ahead of time to serve on campus. Walk-ins are not permitted. We are excited to work alongside you!

The atmosphere is lively and fast-paced as students come in and out of the cafeteria. Lunch Room volunteers love brightening up students' days by offering a kind, encouraging word, and they also enjoy seeing their children and teachers in the cafeteria. Volunteers assist with opening lunch items, reading lunch notes from Mom and Dad, and ensuring scholars are getting the nourishment they need to make the rest of their day a success. Active Lunch Room volunteers should click here to join our GHFH Lunch Room Facebook Group to access helpful information and processes. Be sure to review our Lunch Table Operating & Maintenance Instructions here.
Falcon team volunteers are eager to help in any way that is needed during their ship. They will be cross-trained to help in the copy room, maintain the lost and found, and to run errands for the front desk staff. Training for positions is available.
Volunteers' main responsibility will be assisting scholars with checking books in and out. Additionally, there are other maintenance tasks that need to be worked on during downtime such as shelving books, restocking book carts for K-2 browsing, dusting, covering books with protective plastic, repairing damaged books, etc. Instructions or training will be provided for all library tasks. Sign Up Here
Wear business casual attire (jeans are ok but NO athletic clothing such as yoga or jogging pants. Shorts must be as long as the students' handbook requires).
Sign in/out at the front desk at the start/end of your shift. You will need to present a form of identification when you sign in.
Please park in the front parking lot, and volunteers staying for pick up may back in their car for easier exiting.
Our Volunteer Coordinators are happy to provide answers.
