Becoming a QPS School Volunteer (2024-25)
At Quapaw Public Schools, we encourage family involvement and support in our school buildings. Family members and individuals are invited to participate in our many engagement opportunities throughout the year. To ensure the safety of our students and staff, all volunteers must abide by the QPS Volunteer policy.
A school volunteer is present in the school for a pre-arranged purpose, donating time and expertise to support QPS students and staff. Examples of school volunteers are individuals that:
- Help with Class Parties
- Chaperone Field Trips
- Support Book Fairs
- Read to Classrooms
- Support School-Wide or District-Wide Events
Individuals interested in volunteering with QPS may begin the application process by:
- Submit an information form
- Authorize a criminal records search
- Pay the records fee
- Review the relevant school policies
- Sign the volunteer compliance agreement
(Packets will be available at Parent-Teacher Conferences)
The board has adopted this policy to clarify requirements, expectations, and responsibilities related to volunteering for the school district.
The district does not discriminate against volunteers on the basis of race, color, sex,
pregnancy, gender, gender identity or expression, national origin, religion, disability,
veteran status, sexual orientation, age, or genetic information. All individuals who volunteer
for the district should be committed to the district’s non-discrimination requirements and its
goal of providing quality education and related programs to the children of the community.
The district has a myriad of needs which can be filled by volunteers, and any individual
interested in being a school volunteer should contact a building principal to begin the
volunteer approval process.
No individual will be permitted to volunteer until all the required paperwork has been
submitted and the criminal records check has been reviewed and approved by the building
principal. In the event the criminal records check reveals adverse information regarding
the potential volunteer, the administration will review the facts and circumstances to
determine whether an exception can be granted and in what capacity, if any, the individual
may be permitted to volunteer. All potential volunteers will be given the opportunity to
explain any adverse information which is discovered during the criminal records check
prior to an application being denied.
In addition to the foregoing, there are also special considerations for volunteers who are
driving on school field trips or who are volunteering in connection with athletic events.
Individuals who transport students in personal vehicles are required to provide additional
documentation and declarations related to their driving history and insurance. Individuals
who volunteer in connection with athletic events are required to participate in sport-specific education programs.
For further information on how you can be a volunteer at QPS, please contact the building principals. Aa application packet is located at the bottom of this page.
