Action Items for Families
Volunteer at Eaton
Volunteer training must be completed EVERY year for Level I -- this means you want to come in to the school and support students and staff! Please click the shared link and review the NHCS Volunteer Orientation and complete the Volunteer Orientation Assessment. This is Level I volunteering! When you complete the orientation and assessment, your responses and information goes straight to the district. Dr. McCarty reviews the district list twice a week so that Eaton's Level I Volunteer list is up to date.
Level II: This is required every three (3) years -- this means you want to attend a field trip or volunteer in our cafeteria and other locations outside of the classroom! This requires an application, background check and approval at district level. You can check within the app to verify your Level 2 expiration.
