Volunteers For 2022-23

Woodford County Schools is fortunate to have a strong and dedicated volunteer corps that assist in many capacities in all schools. Remember that there may still be some important tasks that can be completed off site that would be very helpful to teachers and staff. Please contact the individual school you wish to work in for more specific information, scheduling, forms, and procedures. If you are approved to volunteer, please access the volunteer handbook for required training. The volunteer handbook outlines policies and procedures that assure a safe and effective experience for all. The handbook can be accessed on the links section on this page. Volunteers are required to read the handbook, fill out the back page, and have it on file at each school they serve.
