Upcoming Volunteer Training

Our next in-person volunteer training opportunity at Terramar is scheduled for Monday, December 9th from 4:00 pm to 5:00 PM in the Terramar Media Center/Library.  Contact our Volunteer Coordinator at kathleen.dykman@dvusd.org to reserve your spot.  Future Terramar dates have been scheduled for February and March 2025.  You may also attend training at another location in the Deer Valley school district.  Please see the District's Volunteer Info Page for more information on training, including dates and locations.

If you have already attended the training in a previous year and have not done so already, please update your registration by scanning the QR code in the front office.  

If you are interested in helping on campus for any reason or looking to go on field trips, you must be trained.  The library is also looking for volunteers to help with Titan Store, shelving and cataloging books, book fairs, etc. please email kathleen.dykman@dvusd.org for more information.

Volunteering is a scheduled, pre-arranged activity. When a volunteer expresses an interest in working at school and wants to assist with the type of jobs for which help
is needed, there are district guidelines that must be followed for safety and legal reasons before a volunteer begins to work. For the purposes of these guidelines and
procedures, volunteers are defined as those people who donate time in schools or with students on a regular or recurring basis or serve as chaperones. Guest
speakers or those who assist with a single event are not subject to these guidelines unless that single event falls into one of the fingerprint categories.
Volunteers may not bring other children to school while volunteering in a classroom, the office or on a field trip.
