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. Sherwood School District welcomes volunteers for the 2025-2026 school year.
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 26-27 on July 1, 2026
The last day to submit background checks for volunteering during this school year was June 3rd. 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 2026-27 school year will reopen on July 1, 2026. Please watch for an email from our District Office in July with more details.
You only need to submit your information one time per school year. Once it has cleared, your name will be added to the master list for all locations.
If you would like to volunteer, please complete the electronic volunteer background check form linked below.
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.
