volunteering at marshall elementary
Parent volunteers (and by "Parent volunteers" we mean grandparents, aunts and uncles, favorite cousins, lifelong neighbors, mentors, etc!) offer a huge support base for the school community. There are always important things to do, from helping to facilitate fun school events to chaperoning a field trip to assembling classroom project kits at home.
Join our mailing list! We can keep you posted on upcoming events and volunteer opportunities. No experience needed! There are sometimes opportunities for middle school and high school siblings!
Contact your Grade Representative! Of course, volunteers often want to get involved with classrooms and other parents for their children's grade level.

Share your ideas! Some of our volunteers share their talents and thoughtful expertise behind the scenes. Give us feedback and let us know what opportunities you'd like to see.

Important notes
To ensure the safety of our children and our school building, all visitors and volunteers must check in at the main office during school hours. You must bring proper photo identification (such as a driver's license or state identification card) in order to be issued a visitor/volunteer badge!
The Rockford Public School District #205 requires that volunteers working directly with students have an approved Volunteer Packet on file with the Gifted Academy at Thurgood Marshall Elementary. It can take 3-5 days for processing, so complete this as soon as possible before field trips or classroom service!

Expectations of volunteers are simple: be positive, be respectful, maintain student safety and confidentiality, etc. You can find volunteer guidelines shared by the Rockford Public School District #205 here.
