Become a School Volunteer
St. Joseph Regional Catholic School is thankful for its dedicated volunteers who give their time and
talents each year. The entire school community benefits tremendously from volunteerism. Each year
our school has received the Blue Ribbon Award for Volunteerism offered through New Hampshire
Partners in Education. The number of volunteer hours we report to New Hampshire Partners in
Education continues to rise each year. Volunteers model Christian values and our students see first
hand the importance of giving back to their community.
Any individual who wishes to become a SJRCS volunteer must complete mandatory screening
requirements Downloadable documents such as: Volunteer Applications, Criminal Record Release
Forms and FAQ on Volunteer Screening can be obtained from the Diocese of Manchester Website at
www.catholicchurchnh.org under the Child Safety menu. In addition, individuals may view Child Safety
Policies and Protecting God's Children Training Schedule. They can also register to attend a
Protecting God's Children training session.
Volunteers who provide student transportation are also required to submit annually a copy of their
driver's license, proof of insurance verification and sign a Diocese of Manchester Driver/Vehicle
Registration form.
Depending on the volunteer assignment, volunteers may be asked to attend a specific orientation
meeting. All volunteers in the school are required to wear name badges (provided and located at the
front reception desk) and sign in when entering and leaving the school. Volunteers can download a
volunteer hourly sheet to keep at home to record any volunteer duties that they perform after school or
when at home. Volunteer sheets are collected throughout the year. In May the hours are tallied and
submitted to New Hampshire Partners in Education with the Blue Ribbon Award Application. For
more information on New Hampshire Partners in Education visit www.nhpie.org .
A Volunteer Training Guide is available for download which will help answer general questions in
regards to volunteering at SJRCS. In addition feel free to contact the Safe Environment Office for
specific questions on how to become a volunteer.
Each year we ask all volunteers to complete an Annual Volunteer Interest Survey. Information
gathered from this survey is entered into the school database and disseminated to Parent Guild
chairpersons, room parents and school administration to facilitate volunteer efforts. Individuals are
contacted only after they have completed all mandatory screening and returned an annual volunteer
interest survey. For specific questions about upcoming Parent Guild sponsored events listed on the
volunteer interest survey please contact the parent guild at SJRCSParentGuild@aol.com . The Parent
Guild is a great source of information on school happenings and a wonderful place to connect with
other families interested in actively supporting the school".
Volunteers may be needed to help with student Athletics and Activities throughout the year. These
and other urgent volunteer requests can be found in the school newsletter under the Volunteer Want
Ads.
Each spring SJRCS has a volunteer breakfast in honor of our dedicated volunteers. This is a family
breakfast held prior to the school day. Staff and students take this time to say THANK YOU for all the
support that volunteers provide to the SJRCS school community."
