Volunteer Information
Kohl warmly welcomes parent and community volunteers!
Volunteers sign a confidentiality agreement each year prior to working in the school and are required to complete a background check. This includes chaperones for field trips. We want to make sure you are aware that the background check process takes some time, so plan ahead if you are interested in volunteering.
Please review the very important information located on BVSD’s Volunteer website and contact the Kohl Office if you have questions. Opportunities to volunteer at Kohl are listed at HelpAtSchools and may also be shared directly by teachers.
Volunteering at BVSD is easy. Please complete the Raptor information at this link: https://www.bvsd.org/parents-students/get-involved/volunteers
Please note, there is a $24.99 background fee due at the time of submission. Once you have received email confirmation that your application has been approved, you are welcome to begin volunteering. Please allow up to 48 hours, upon submission, for approval notification. Approved background screenings are valid for 12 months, at which time they will need to be renewed.
