Volunteers
There are opportunities to volunteer in our school
right now!
Supervise Lunch Recess
We need parents to help supervise students
during lunch recess. You can help every other week or
even once a month, or just sign up as a substitute.
If you can volunteer, please call the school office or
email: carol-ruskamp@cdolinc.net
Volunteer in the Kitchen
You may also want to inquire about volunteering in the
kitchen.
We have a few days every month that require
volunteer help serving the students, with a time
commitment of approximately 11:00 - 1:00. (no cooking
required!)
If you would like to be on the list of people
we may call, you can contact the school office, or email
Cathy and Adele at:
food-service@cdolinc.net
Room Parents
Room parents are responsible for planning and
coordinating special parties, assisting with field
trips, and helping the teacher with special projects
or requests. (Please discuss ideas with
teachers.)
Background Checks
Background Checks are required by the Diocese of
Lincoln for all parent volunteers.
We have completed this process for our teachers and
staff, and we will be asking parents who
volunteer in the school and accompany the students
on field trips to fill out the additional paperwork
required.
Adults are also asked to view a 23 minute video on
the reporting of child abuse. You may check
out this video from the office and watch it at home.
We appreciate you taking time to view this film.
Once you have completed the background check and
viewed the film, your information will remain on
file as long as your child is a student at North
American Martyrs. This is not an annual process.
Thank you for your cooperation.
About Volunteering
Parents are asked to be an active part of the school
community by giving at least 20 hours to the school or
parish over the course of a school year.
There will be volunteer opportunities, such as cleaning,
upkeep of grounds, and special projects, throughout the
year. Parents are asked to track their hours on special
cards or sheets provided.
Parental involvement is intended to help parents teach
children, by example, that service is an important part
of being a Christian.
In addition, it shows children the high value that
parents place on their education by their involvement in
the school. It also helps the school free up funds for
other needs.
When making specific commitments of time and talent to
the school, please call in advance if you are unable to
fulfill the commitment.
The Lincoln Diocesan policy requires that volunteers
submit to a background check and view the twenty minute
video, “Somebody Told.”
