Volunteering with Springfield Public Schools
Our volunteers consists of community members, parents, grandparents, local businesses and organizations who acknowledge the importance between community involvement and education. They work in a variety of capacities, both inside and outside the classroom from mentoring or tutoring a child to assisting in the school office or cafeteria.
In order to become a registered volunteer, and keep your volunteer status current, volunteers must complete and return a Volunteer Registration and Background Check Form each year. This form may be obtained by online (please see the Volunteer Forms and Documents tab), in the Community Relations Office, or in the main office of our schools.
Upon a clear background check from the Missouri State Highway Patrol, you will receive notification (please allow up to 14 business days) from the school site you indicated as preference for your volunteer work.
For more information about the volunteer registration process, feel free to contact the school where you wish to volunteer, or the volunteer office at Kraft Administrative Center, (417) 523-0021.
