Volunteering in Deer Valley School District
Volunteerism is encouraged and supported in Deer Valley. The coordinated efforts of educators, parents and community members are key to ensuring student success. We are grateful to the thousands of volunteers who work in classrooms, on playgrounds and in school offices daily.
The primary goal of our volunteer program is to help schools provide the best possible education for each student. Volunteers are needed to accomplish the following objectives:
- Provide teachers with more time to work with students
- Enrich the curriculum and learning opportunities for students
- Provide individual attention to those children needing additional assistance
- Promote a school-home-community partnership for quality education.

Training
We are grateful for the support of our volunteers! To ensure the safety of our students and compliance with district requirements, all volunteers must complete the required training before volunteering on campus or participating in school activities.
Please click here to access the Deer Valley Unified School District Volunteer Training videos and complete the required training. Once your training has been completed and approved, you'll be ready to volunteer at Village Meadows Elementary.
At the conclusion of the training, please be sure to complete both the Volunteer Registration Form and the Volunteer Testimony Form. Volunteers will not be permitted on campus until both forms have been submitted and approved by Human Resources.
