We at the Ellsworth School Department, value parents and community members who wish to volunteer in our schools. Please see the attached Volunteer Handbook as a resource.

Before being accepted to volunteer, all volunteers must attend a training session once per year * and also have their name/information go through a criminal background check through the Maine State Police at no cost to the individual.

* (All ESD staff are required to have FERPA, and many other trainings at the start of each year as well. The material covered in this training is covered with all ESD staff each year.)

Please contact the Central Office for further information.
