Volunteers
Volunteers help in a wide variety of ways , both in and out of the classroom . They assist students with reading and math , judge science fairs and other academic competitions , chaperone field trips , perform clerical work , serve on school and district committees , and much more .
Each school has a volunteer services coordinator who helps recruit volunteers and match them with opportunities .
• All volunteers are required to complete a volunteer application and a criminal record history release form for each school , and school year before they are eligible to start their volunteer assignment .
• Volunteers must sign in at the office and wear a volunteer badge at all times .
Anyone interested in volunteering in an Anoka-Hennepin school can call 763-506-1585 or the school ’ s volunteer services coordinator . More information is also available at ahschools . us / volunteer .

Parents or guardians may choose to limit the use of their child ’ s photo .
