The Las Cruces Public Schools welcomes and encourages all parents and citizens of Las Cruces to volunteer their time in our schools. In order to protect our students, volunteers must comply with Las Cruces Public Schools' Board of Education policy GBJC. The policy requires volunteers to complete a College Student Volunteer Application and these packets are available at the school, or at the Human Resources Office, or online. The College Student Volunteer Packet consists of the following:

• College Student Volunteer Information Sheet: Complete, date and sign this sheet.
• Policy Review: Read and sign off on LCPS policies: Volunteer Pledge; Drug Free Workplace; Child Abuse and Neglect; Sexual Harassment; Staff conduct with students; Staff personal safety and security; and internet use.
• Criminal History Affidavit: Complete and sign the Criminal History Affidavit.

College Students that need to do classroom observations for education credits, practicums, interns, and enrichment programs, are required to complete the volunteer process. Background Check Procedure State and Federal Background Checks: Volunteers are required to have State & Federal Background Checks only once unless there is a break in volunteer service of one school year or longer, excluding summers. An LCPS HR Specialist will contact you to assist with registering and paying for your fingerprints. After an HR Specialist has assisted you with registering:
