Volunteering at Flatirons (BVSD)
Thank you for volunteering to work with Flatirons/BVSD! Volunteers make up a very important part of the Flatirons/BVSD community and we appreciate your desire to work with us to achieve greater service for all of the communities we serve. Volunteering in schools is a wonderful, beneficial experience that rewards not only the students and the teachers, but also the volunteers themselves. It provides an opportunity to create positive relationships and support schools in succeeding in their overall goal of student achievement.
Flatirons Elementary understands it is our responsibility to ensure the safety of our students. To promote a safe, nurturing, and supportive educational environment in which students can pursue their educational goals, Flatirons will maintain a background screening program for regularly scheduled volunteers as part of the approval process for volunteering in school activities and events.
