Parent Involvement

Improving Student Achievement Through Parent Involvement

A strong part of what makes your student's time at Thomas Metcalf School unique is the strong community of parental involvement.   It is only through your tireless efforts that we’re able to offer the vast array of activities and opportunities available to your student.

Joining the Metcalf Parent-Teacher Organization allows you to stay in tune with all of the different ways you can find to get involved, ranging from becoming a Room Parent to participating on committees. On the left hand side of the page, you will find further information and resources on how to stay informed and become involved.

Volunteer

One way to stay involved is to volunteer for the various activities, athletics, and special events. Since you may be working directly with minors, there are three things that need to be completed before you can volunteer:

  1. Complete a background check. (Good for 1 year after clearance date.) This involves the following: 
    1. A background authorization form (PERS 944). 
    2. An instruction sheet with information on where to go to get your fingerprints taken. 
    3. A Biometric Impressions Authorization Form. This only needs to be completed if you are going to Biometric Impressions for your fingerprints. 
  2. Complete a Volunteer Risk Assumption Form. (Must be filled out for each volunteer opportunity.)
  3. Complete an ISU Crime Reporting Form. (Filled out once per school year.)

All forms should be turned in to the Main Office at Thomas Metcalf or emailed to mvheld@ilstu.edu. Once these items are collected and your background check has cleared, you may begin your volunteer work.
