RMSEL Volunteers

For the safety of our students and staff, all RMSEL volunteers who will have any direct contact with students must first be cleared by a fingerprinted background check through the Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
 
In addition, many of our parents choose to become bus driver certified at RMSEL for chaperoning on our fieldwork and adventure trips.  There are additional steps one must follow in order to be bus driver certified, after background clearance has been obtained, beginning with providing a copy of your Colorado driver’s license.  Our liability insurance requires that we obtain a Department of Motor Vehicles driving record on any potential bus driver first, in order to confirm that our insurance will cover the driver.
 
If you are interested in volunteering or getting bus driver certification, click this link for the information for the fingerprint process.  This is the only way to get background clearance for volunteering.  It also includes the steps, after getting background clearance, for getting bus driver certification. 
 
If you have any questions, please contact the office at (303)759-2076.

Volunteer Opportunities

 
RMSEL relies on our wonderful volunteers to help create the unique educational and community experience that defines our school. Volunteering is a great way to get to know the families in your crew and in the greater community. We have many volunteer opportunities available so you can easily accrue your family’s 25+ hours of volunteering.
 
Ways to Volunteer
There are many ways that your family can get involved in your student’s school and educational experience, for example:
  • Volunteer to help at a DAC event
  • Support students and crew leaders in the classroom
  • Chaperone fieldwork and crew trips
  • Participate in passage panels
Connect with your student's crew leader to learn how you can best help support education at RMSEL. Click here to sign up for school-wide volunteer opportunities and DAC events.
 
Where to Log Your Volunteers Hours
If you have already volunteered, thank you! You can record your hours here. We suggest that you record your hours as you give them as it is difficult to accurately recall dates and times at the end of the school year.
