Center School Volunteer Opportunities

Sign Up to Volunteer by Friday, September 18th!

We are now able to collect your volunteer preferences online. This will be a much more efficient way for our volunteer coordinators to keep track of your information. There is a different online form for each school. After you fill out one form you will have the option of filling out additional forms depending on how many children you have.

Forms are due September 18th so our coordinators can start lining parents up to help with various fall events.

CRIMINAL OFFENDER RECORD INFORMATION (CORI)
Under Massachusetts law, all public schools must require a Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) from employees and volunteers who have direct contact with students. In order to volunteer in the schools, a current CORI form must be on file (CORI checks are good for three years). You can complete a CORI form at any of the schools main office or the Superintendent’s office during office hours. Forms must be returned to school office in person and office personnel will take a copy of your license or other photo ID before submitting your CORI form for approval. Only one completed form is needed for all Hopkinton public schools. More information is available on the district website http://www.hopkinton.k12.ma.us/.

Kindergarten:

  • Black Snake Woman and Traveling Medicine Dog - November 16 and 17
    Native Americans from the Woodland Village in Western Massachusetts will visit each kindergarten classroom, bringing with them a basket of more than 30 Native American artifacts including tools, games and musical instruments. This exciting, interactive program gives the children insight into Native American culture. The object of the program is to break down barriers and extinguish incorrect perceptions that children have learned in movies or books. Overall, Black Snake Woman and Traveling Medicine Dog teach a theme of kindness and honor. This program reinforces the kindergarten curriculum on National Holidays and Symbols as well as History.
