Hampstead Middle School Volunteer

DESIGNATED VOLUNTEERS

Hampstead Middle School is seeking volunteers for various roles in our building. Additionally, those wishing to chaperone field trips such as ski club must follow the application process. New applicants must complete the application and vetting process including a background check per NH law. Returning volunteers already on the District's volunteer list do not need to reapply. To apply for a volunteer position at the Hampstead Middle School fill out the online application and remember to include the names and email addresses of three individuals as character references (required). After you have submitted your online application, email the School Principal to request consideration of your name to be forwarded to the SAU Office for processing. All applicants that are forwarded to the SAU must wait to be contacted by the SAU with specific information about booking a mandatory fingerprinting appointment for a background check. Applicants are responsible for paying the State's fee for fingerprinting and may contact the SAU Office prior to June 15th for instructions to request reimbursement. The entire process to become a fully vetted designated volunteer can take several weeks to complete so it is advised to apply as soon as possible. Applications are accepted throughout the school year.

*IMPORTANT TO KNOW AHEAD OF TIME* The State of NH requires mandatory training for all designated volunteers, therefore if you become a designated volunteer in this District you will be expected to complete our online training courses using a personal device on your own time. We are pointing this out as a professional courtesy before you proceed with filling out your application.

Candidate Requirements:

• Must be pre-approved by the School Principal and approved by the Superintendent.
• Must successfully complete a criminal history background check.
• Must provide three references with email addresses.
• Fingerprinting appointments are booked online through the NH Department of Safety. There are a variety of LiveScan sites throughout the state.

To begin the process, click apply, complete the short volunteer application, list three individuals as references (email addresses required), and then press submit. Applications that do not include a listing of three individual contacts and email addresses are incomplete and will not be forwarded to the SAU Office for processing.
