Thank you, Thoreau families, staff, sponsors, and students! By achieving our $25,000 we were able to purchase the Makerspace Cart for Mrs. Cargo’s STEM class in addition to supporting our annual PTO goals.
Complete your Volunteer Training:
This training is required of all volunteers (community and family) and non-MMSD personnel who come into school buildings and work with students. Volunteering in other ways with the PTO (back-end organizing, day-of special events, etc.) does not require this training. However, things like attending field trips, other in-class opportunities and/or recess volunteering will require you to be Level 2 certified. This includes completing the following:
Application in Volunteer Tracker
Background check (automatically performed as a part of your application)
COVID-19 vaccination verification
Required training modules (currently three - Learning Forward Together, Covid-19 Health & Safety, Building Safety Protocols)
Please note training is available asynchronously (recorded), and only needs to be completed once. MMSD is committed to anti-racist practices, equity, inclusion, and upholding our core beliefs. These trainings are in alignment with that vision, and it's important for volunteers to have a shared understanding. MMSD places a high value on safety and well-being; these training modules are important for the safety and well-being of students, staff, and volunteers. The objectives of the trainings are: COVID-19 health practices; safety and security protocols; and grounding in MMSD anti-racist mission/vision, identity and relationships, and strategies.
