Thank you for your interest in volunteering at the MSD of Martinsville. Assistance from parents, guardians, and our respected community makes for a successful and caring educational environment for our students. Please read the below information carefully.
In an effort to keep our schools safe, all volunteers (including staff) must complete a volunteer application form which includes a criminal background check request. The background check must be approved prior to entering our schools. The background check must also be completed prior to a one-time special event in which the volunteer chooses to participate.
Please complete and download the background check application, then return it to your child’s school office. Background applications are reviewed by school principals or school administration using the State of Indiana Police criminal records database.
When evaluating criminal background checks for potential volunteers, persons will not be permitted to volunteer for our district if the following charges appear:
