Heyworth CUSD#4 Classroom Volunteer Information

 Heyworth CUSD#4 welcomes the talent and skills of individuals who are interested in volunteering their time to assist with accomplishing the district’s overall goals and objectives – “To Educate our Students”.  Effective with the 2015-2016 school year, it is a district requirement that volunteers who may have the potential for direct, unsupervised contact with students must be screened.  These volunteer roles would include tutors, mentors, classroom assistants, library assistants, and field trip chaperones.  The purpose of the classroom volunteer policy is to support and encourage school volunteers while maintaining an ample level of safety and security in Heyworth CUSD#4.
