Volunteer Opportunities 2011-2012 Parent involvement is important at RHS!
All volunteers that wish to volunteer at any LWSD school, during
OR after school hours on the school grounds or
field trips (ie: concession stands, dance
chaperone, etc) need to be cleared by the
district by filling out the school district's
volunteer application packet.
There is now a much faster
way to fill out these forms on-line! All parents can complete the volunteer application packet when you sign-on to your Parent Access--which is easy to do directly from the RHS web site - http://www.lwsd.org/rhs
Hit the tab at top of page
that says "FOR PARENTS" and you will see
where is says Parent Access.
Look half way down and you'll see a red school
house icon with words "Volunteer
Application". Click on that and you will get a
pre-populated form with your data at the
beginning of it!
If a parent is not familiar
with Parent Access, you can still complete a
paper version of the application, which can be
pulled from the district Web site, here:
