Calhoun County ISD Volunteer Application

We appreciate your interest in volunteering with Calhoun County ISD. Our district offers volunteer opportunities for parents and community members. Simply complete and submit a volunteer application,  and upon approval, you will receive instructions on the next steps.

It is very important that the information you enter on the application matches your government-issued identification card, including your full legal name. It is important that you provide a valid email address so you can be notified as to the status of your application and for future communication. All information collected on the application will remain confidential and not be shared outside the Calhoun County ISD volunteer program.

** Current students should not apply to volunteer. Current students volunteering on behalf of a school organization should sign up to volunteer with their club sponsor. **

If you have any questions about the application, please request to speak with a volunteer representative.

Thank you,

As a Calhoun County ISD Volunteer, I agree to abide by the following code of conduct:

7. I will not disclose, use or disseminate student photographs or personal information regarding students to anyone.

9. Whenever possible, I will meet with my student(s) in a location that is quiet enough, but not completely private. (library, classroom, or office with the door open, etc.) Campus volunteer coordinators can assist with identifying good locations to meet. (mentors/tutors)
10. I will not exchange cell phone numbers or contact information for the student to reach out to me outside school sessions.

16. I understand that if I need assistance or guidance with my assigned role, I will refer to my campus volunteer coordinator.
17.  I understand that individuals must sign up to volunteer every school year so that criminal history records can be reviewed annually. 
18. Failure to uphold any guideline or standard may result in dismissal from the Calhoun County ISD Volunteer Program and may result in criminal prosecution.

One or more of the volunteer activities you have selected may require you to provide your United States social security number so we can perform a criminal background check. Your social security number will only be used for this purpose and we do not retain this information. 

By signing below, I consent to the district securing a criminal record history search about me. I understand the information I am providing about age, sex, and ethnicity will not be used to determine eligibility for volunteering but will be used solely to obtain criminal history record information. All information will be held in strict confidence and will be discussed with only you, should there be a concern.

Thank You

Your volunteer application has been successfully submitted and will be reviewed per the district’s volunteer policy. Soon, you will be notified as to your volunteer status. If you have any questions, please request to speak with a volunteer representative.
