Volunteering at RHMS

We welcome all parents and guardians to volunteer at our school! All we need are two pieces of information:

1. The RHMS Volunteer Interest Form tells us in which areas you are interested in volunteering. You can select to be contacted for specific events, last minute/misc. opportunities, or for everything that is available! This is not a commitment as we understand availability may change.
2. The DCSD Volunteer Agreement for all parents and guardians. This form is required by the Douglas County School District to maintain student confidentiality. A new DCSD Volunteer Application is required every year you volunteer, and for every school in which you are volunteering.

*If you are a non-guardian family member (grandparent, aunt/uncle, or sibling), a non-family community member, or volunteering to be a parent volunteer coach, you will need to complete the DCSD Community Volunteer Agreement in lieu of the DCSD Volunteer Agreement.

The ROK Mart is our parent staffed after school store that offers snacks, drinks, and limited spirit wear for sale. Two volunteers are scheduled to work in the store from 2:30–3:05pm. This volunteer opportunity involves fast paced student interaction, working with money, and restocking the store.

There are four lunch periods each day.  Time slots are offered from 10:50am to 12:10pm and from 11:50am-1:00pm  (each time slot covers two lunch periods). You are welcome to sign up for any day(s), for both time slots, or just one. Three volunteers for each time slot is ideal. When you arrive for your shift, please sign in with security, obtain a name badge, and I hope to greet you and show you to the cafeteria. If I am not available, please proceed to the cafeteria/kitchen, and let the workers know you are there to help.

Areas of Need

• Check students out at the free lunch line
• Restock the free lunch line
• Monitor students in the check out lines

RHMS has several hospitality related volunteer opportunities throughout the school year. These opportunities include decorating the staff lounge, assisting with Honor Roll celebrations, providing dinners for teachers and staff during conferences, holiday cookie exchange, and teacher appreciation week. Other hospitality requests are made as needed, which may include requests for food, drinks, gift cards, and monetary donations.

Traditionally RHMS supports one organized fundraiser early in the school year. We rely on a large number of parent volunteers for a variety of activities including assembling packets, awarding prizes to students, and staffing our reward parties.

We have volunteer opportunities available throughout the school year. Ways to be involved include the Book Fair, class field trips, 8th Grade Career Fair, Vision and Hearing Screening, Picture Day, and many other activities that often arise throughout the school year.

We also sometimes send out requests for food and drinks, money and/or gift card donations, which is a great way for parents to still be involved but who cannot donate their time.
