One of the best ways to get involved and stay connected is by volunteering at Fairmont. Our school relies on the support of parents, family members, and other caregivers. Fairmont has a closed campus, so all on campus volunteers must be "badged" - which means they need to have clearance from WCCUSD. As of 2025, the district has a new volunteer process (Verkada) that no longer requires fingerprinting but does require state identification or consulate card. If you have a badge from 2024 or earlier, you will need to be cleared through the new system.
Tell us what you are interested in and we'd love to get you involved!

WAYS TO VOLUNTEER ON CAMPUS
WAYS TO VOLUNTEER ON CAMPUS
Lunch & Recess: Help keep kids safe and transitioning from lunch to recess and back to class. Help students sort their compostables and recyclables.
Special Skills: Do you make art? Love to play with legos? Play an instrument? Juggle? Volunteers can offer one-time or recurring activities at recess that enrich the student experience. You can also ask your teacher about sharing talents in the classroom.
Fairmont's Library: We have a part-time librarian who provides an opportunity for each class to come through and check out books. We need volunteers to shelve books Mon-Tue 8:30-9:30am, as well as help out with special projects on your own schedule.
Garden: Our garden teacher, Ms. Claire, may need help time to time in the garden to help keep it clean and growing! In general, garden help might be things like picking up garbage, weeding, and sweeping.
Help in Classrooms: Please reach out directly to your teacher if you'd like to ask if they need help in the classroom. Many teachers welcome it, some are unsure, and some find it easier to manage the class without a volunteer. There could also be an occasion that you'd like to help with and if you could be specific about it with your teacher, let them know -- such as doing an art project or science project with the class or helping during a holiday celebration.
Field Trips: Connect with your teacher and let them know you're interested in helping as a chaperone with your class field trips. You must be a badged WCCUSD volunteer.
Community Events: Our events are entirely volunteer run and we need your help with planning, set-up, food, games, and more! Sign-up sheets are emailed to the volunteer list. Sign up below!
You name it: If you have an idea for another way to get involved, let us know!
