The East Troy Community School District welcomes and encourages parental involvement in our schools and offers many opportunities throughout the year for families and the community to engage with our student(s) in school-based events and activities. The Board encourages the use of tutors and other school volunteers to help bridge the gap between the schools and the East Troy community. These volunteers may assist teachers and other school personnel while under the supervision of a teacher, advisor, coach, supervisor or school principal.
Keeping our students, faculty, and staff safe is a top priority! When you visit our schools, please be aware of the visitor and volunteer guidelines below that help us maintain a safe environment for our students and staff. The District requires the successful completion of a criminal background check for those serving as a volunteer, chaperone, or other sponsor for K-12 activities as outlined below:
