INFORMATION FOR VOLUNTEERING

Cocoa Beach Jr./Sr. High School is fortunate to have so many dedicated families and community members that are willing to donate their time to our school. In order for someone to volunteer at a Brevard County Public School they must apply and have their information entered into the, Volunteers in Public Schools database. There are two types of volunteers, Listed and Registered. Below is a table listing some of the activities volunteers can participate in:

Background checks are done on all applicants: this includes State, National and/or International history. Registered volunteers are required to be fingerprinted which will be used to check the criminal history records from the FDLE/FBI. Fingerprinting is done in Viera at the School Board complex.

When you volunteer at the school please come to the front office and sign-in on the computer. This enables the county to track our volunteer hours. If you are volunteering after school hours please keep track of your time and e-mail volunteer hours to Deborah Smith, smithde@brevard.k12.fl.us .

Explanation of CBHS Volunteer Hours Credit:
"Every school is required to have a certain number of volunteer hours every year. This number is based on how many students the school has. All volunteer hours are entered via computer in the VPS program so the district can track them. Volunteers can submit hours to me either by e-mail or on paper. When we meet our goal (volunteer hours) we receive the 'Gold Seal'. We have met our goals for the past 10 years". Deborah Smith, CBHS (front office).
