Volunteering Makes a Difference!
"Don't ever question the value of volunteers. Noah's Ark was built by volunteers; the Titanic was built by professionals." ~ Dave Gynn
At Denver Christian School we realize that parent engagement is necessary to increase children's success in school and build our DC family. We expect every family that is involved in a DC child's like to volunteer with 20 hours in the "Doing Community Side-By-Side" program.
Please let me know if this is how you want me to do changes for you.
Our goal is to create a culture of community and support for our students and their education through serving together. We would love for you to utilize this program as a way to engage in the DC community, serving "Side-by-Side," being the hands and feet of Jesus for our students, staff and DC School community.
Before volunteering at Denver Christian...
Help us keep our students safe!!! All Volunteers that work with our students should complete and return the DCS Background Authorization Form to Brant Epperhart before volunteering at Denver Christian. This form should be printed, filled out, and returned to Brant Epperhart along with your check for $16 (DC will cover the other half of the background check fee). Once authorized, this is good for 3 years.
Note: You may assume that your background check has cleared (you have been approved for volunteering at DCS) one week after you've submitted the form to DC unless you have been notified otherwise.
