All visitors to campus MUST check in with the front office before going into the school. This is to ensure the safety of all children and staff at MES. If you are interested in volunteering at our school, we would welcome and thank you!

Please check with your child's teachers, or our volunteer coordinator, Mrs. Shannon San Miguel, for more information. All parents, family members, and friends who may want to volunteer time on field trips or in the classroom, do need to approved by the School Board of Highlands County.

Effective October 2, 2017, all volunteer applicants will undergo a Level 2 background screening. Volunteer fees will be the responsibility of the applicant for applications submitted for field trip purposes only. The fingerprinting fee is collected at the time of fingerprinting in the amount of $40.75, payable by debit/credit to a third-party vendor. Volunteer fees for ongoing volunteer services will be borne by the District. 

Approved volunteers will remain active for five (5) years from the date of approval. Upon expiration, a new volunteer application must be submitted for approval. It is the responsibility of the volunteer to maintain active status.

The volunteer form is available online and needs to be filled out every five years. All parents/volunteers should park in the front of the school in the designated areas.

More information about volunteering can be found on the SBHC Website.
