Thank you for your interest in volunteering in the Sherwood School District. The time our parents and community members devote to our schools is what helps make our district great.

To learn about specific volunteer opportunities or needs, please get involved in one of our parent groups (see links at bottom of page). All volunteers in the Sherwood School District must complete the Background Check process outlined below and be cleared prior to starting. 

Background Check Forms – Will Reopen for the 25-26 School Year on July 15, 2025

The last day to submit background checks for volunteering during this school year was June 4th. Please note that submissions take 7-10 business days to process.

Classroom parties and field trips require a background check. Audience members for promotions or other performance events do not require a background check. 

Planning to volunteer next year? Volunteer background checks for the 2025-26 school year will reopen on July 15, 2025. Please watch for an email from our District Office in July with more details.

Please only submit a background check once – it costs money for each submission, even if the person has already been approved.

Please note all volunteers will need to complete SB 155 training. This training is also linked in the volunteer background check forms above. Please contact Human Resources with any questions.

Parent Groups 

Our school parent groups (PACs/PSOs) regularly seek volunteers to assist with school events, activities, fundraisers, etc. For more information about the volunteer needs of each school’s parent group, please see the links below.
