Volunteer & Mentor Program
Jarrell ISD welcomes community engagement! If you are interested in serving in our schools, please complete the process outlined below. People volunteering or mentoring during the school day are required to fill out the form. You do not need to fill out the form if you volunteer outside of school hours.
Volunteer/Mentor and Background Check Application
Volunteers/Mentor: This form is for individuals who are not current parents or legal guardians of any student enrolled in JISD. Please note on the form your reason for volunteering (IE, Rotary Club, Education Connection, Reading buddy, Band, etc). We will conduct a name-based background check, and applicants must present a Texas-issued identification to facilitate this process.
Student Observation Hours: If future professionals require only observation hours, a name-based check will be conducted. Please indicate on the form the specific school or grade level for which you need your observation hours, as well as the total number of hours required. A Texas-issued identification will be necessary to complete this process.
Student Teachers/Professionals: Future professionals participating in student teaching within the district will undergo a fingerprint-based background check. Please specify the school or grade level on the provided form. If you have not previously completed the fingerprinting process, a code will be issued to you. It is important to note that all expenses related to fingerprinting are the responsibility of the individual. Identification will be required to finalize this process, along with an additional form that will be sent to you for consent to the background check.
Contractors: Any individual contracted with the district will undergo a fingerprint-based background check. Human Resources will confirm your employment details with the appropriate department. If you have not completed the fingerprinting process before, you will receive a code to initiate the process. Please be aware that all costs associated with fingerprinting are the individual's responsibility. To complete this process, you will need to provide identification and an additional consent form for the background check, which will be sent to you.
Please send the completed forms and identification copy to: HR@jarrellisd.org.
