Volunteering at Prairie Creek

How do I get involved?

Prairie Creek Community School welcomes and appreciates all the work volunteers undertake to support our school. For the first six weeks of school, volunteers are asked not to volunteer in the school building while teachers build classroom community with the children.  Getting involved is simple. Just contact your child's classroom teacher or visit our Sign Up Genius link.

Volunteer Protocols

Please review the volunteer protocols:

  1. In order to maintain a safe and secure school environment, all volunteers are required to sign in at the school office, wear a visitor’s badge while in the school or on school grounds and sign out when leaving the building.
  2. To protect the learning environment, volunteers are asked not to bring younger children with them, nor utilize any personal electronic equipment such as audio or video recording devices and cell phones.
  3. Volunteers must respect and observe the privacy rights of students as provided under state and federal law.
  4. To help ensure the safety of students in our school, all volunteers must pass a Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension background check. The BCA will not accept a copy of your signature, so please print the form and return the original to the office.  Contract the office if you would like a form sent home with your child.  The school will cover the cost of the background check. 
  5. All volunteers must complete this Confidentiality Acknowledgement.

To protect the data privacy rights of students and to assure our school is a safe environment for students, all volunteers are required to sign a Confidentiality Acknowledgement and an Informed Consent granting permission for PCCS to conduct a criminal background check
