Volunteering
Volunteering at the school and for school events is an important and meaningful way to stay engaged in your child's educational experience. We encourage parents, guardians and other important adults in the lives of our students to participate in the life of the school.
“Alone we can do so little.
Together we can do so much.”
With safety in mind, we owe it to our parents and our students to make sure that any adult volunteer, driver, or chaperone accompanying them does not have a criminal background. All volunteers working directly with students, including chaperones and drivers on trips, must undergo fingerprinting and a criminal background check as part of the Designated Volunteer approval process. For planning purposes, it can take up to two weeks for a completed background check to be returned to Gathering Waters.
Please note: This does not apply to the craft fair, or our school festivals.
