SDFA Volunteer Application Form
Volunteer assistance to the School District of Fort Atkinson is recognized as an important component of district operations.  In an ongoing effort to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and visitors, the School District of Fort Atkinson requires all volunteers to complete a volunteer form annually.  If you have any questions or concerns regarding this form or the approval process, please contact the School District of Fort Atkinson Human Resources Office at 920-563-7801 or at hr@fortschools.org.

Please note, a MINIMUM of 48 hours is required for an application to be processed by school district personnel.  If you wish to confirm that you are an approved volunteer, please contact your school's office.

All adults who wish to volunteer in the schools for educational purposes and at school-sponsored activities are subject to a Wisconsin criminal background check, which includes a criminal record check for conviction(s) and pending charges through the Wisconsin Department of Justice Online Record Check System and the National Sex Offender Registry.

Volunteer background checks must be completed annually.  Individuals will not be allowed to volunteer or chaperone until a criminal background check has been conducted.
