Our Volunteer Program at Rocky Heights Middle School exists to enhance our school community. We honor our volunteers' commitment to our staff and students, and we welcome their many diverse talents.
How do I become a RHMS volunteer?
We welcome all parents and guardians to volunteer at our school! All we need are two pieces of information:
The RHMS Volunteer Interest Form tells us in which areas you are interested in volunteering. You can select to be contacted for specific events, last minute/misc opportunities or for everything that is available! This is not a commitment- we understand availability changes.
The DCSD VolunteerAgreement for all parents and guardians*. This form is required by the Douglas County School District to maintain student confidentiality. A new DCSD VolunteerApplication is required every year you volunteer, and for every school in which you are volunteering.
*If you are a non-guardian family member (grandparent, aunt/uncle or sibling), a non-family community member or volunteering to be a parent volunteer coach, you will need to complete the DCSD Community Volunteer Agreement in lieu of the DCSD Volunteer Agreement.
Contact Tammy Horlacher at thorlacher1@dcsdk12.org if you have any questions about volunteering or would like to get involved.
ROK Mart (School
Store)
The ROK Mart is our parent staffed after school store that offers snacks, drinks, and limited spirit wear for sale. Two volunteers are scheduled to work in the
store from 2:30 until 3:05. This
volunteer opportunity involves fast-paced student interaction, working with
money and restocking the store.
Walkabout
Walkabout (WAB) is a program unique to RHMS that
provides a positive adult presence during lunch times. It involves direct student interaction in
which teams of parents help monitor students by simply “walking about”. All parents, guardians and grandparents are
welcome to participate after completing a one-time training.
Hospitality
RHMS has several hospitality-related volunteer opportunities
throughout the year such as decorating the staff lounge, assisting with Honor
Roll celebrations, providing conference dinners for teachers and staff, holiday
cookie exchange, & Staff Appreciation Week. Other hospitality requests are made as
needed, including requests for food and drinks, gift cards and monetary
donations.
Fundraising
Traditionally RHMS supports one organized fundraiser- a
Magazine Drive early in the school year.
We rely on a large number of parent volunteers for a variety of
activities including assembling packets, awarding prizes to
students and staffing our reward parties. To learn more about ways to support RHMS through
fundraising, click here.
Other Opportunities
We have volunteer opportunities available throughout the
school year. Ways to be involved include
the Book Fair, class field trips, 8th Grade Career Fair, Vision and Hearing Screening,
school Picture Day, and many other activities that often arise during the school
year. We also sometimes send out
requests for food and drinks, money and/or gift card donations, which is a
great way for parents to still be involved but who cannot volunteer their time!
