Discovery Classroom Volunteers
In order to volunteer in the school building, or be a chaperone on a field trip, parents or guardians must fill out a volunteer application every two years, and the required training is valid for 3 years. Please contact Alicia Zekan (Alicia.Zekan@apsva.us) if you have questions about volunteering. Keep in mind your application will take a few days to process, so it recommended you do this well ahead of your scheduled volunteer slot!
