Volunteers
We welcome new volunteers
Parents, grandparents, residents, business people, retirees and winter visitors are a source of special skills and personal attention — as school volunteers.
Elementary, junior high and high schools need volunteers to help in many ways, working directly with students or behind the scenes — in areas such as classrooms, offices and libraries.
Become a volunteer in MPS
Parents may volunteer at the schools their children attend. Others must contact the school of their choice for a referral to the MPS Volunteer Services Office. Nonparent volunteers complete applications and undergo background investigations through the Human Resources Department.
School administrators have the authority to determine the suitability of all prospective volunteers. For more information, visit the Volunteer Services website, or call (480) 472-0433.
We honor our volunteers
The school board and superintendent honor volunteers during school Spotlight Recognitions at district Governing Board meetings.
National Public School Volunteer Week is in April. The school board and superintendent issue a proclamation each spring to express their gratitude for the countless contributions volunteers make to the quality of MPS and the success of its students.
