Volunteering or Visiting Our Schools

Thank you for your interest in volunteering or visiting in the Carson City School District. We believe that families and community members are important partners to support our students. Before entering our schools we encourage you to learn about our visitor and volunteer procedures.

Our district utilizes a visitor/volunteer management system for persons visiting schools. We are committed to ensuring our schools are safe places for students and staff, and this system enables us to be certain we know who is in our schools during the school day. Volunteers must first be approved and background checked by the district.

This software system also enables the school to screen visitors against the sex offender registry. Names and dates of birth are compared to the sex offender registry only. No other external sources are checked and the information you share is not retained. The visitor screening process is used during regular school hours. Visitors will need to wear the printed name badge that identifies their name, photo, the date and their destination during regular school hours.

Volunteers who are working with students and supporting school programs and activities will be subject to a full background check and must complete training prior to volunteering.

If you want more information about the volunteer vetting process or have questions regarding volunteer opportunities, you may contact Carson City School District’s Volunteer Coordinator at rsimpson@carson.k12.nv.us or 775-283-2061.
