We run on volunteers, and there are many opportunities at DES this year! 

Background check/fingerprinting

All volunteers are required to complete a Commercial Background Check or Fingerprint Supported Background Check through AACPS. More information is available on the AACPS website. 

The PTO will hold a Fingerprint Event in October at DES! More information will be coming soon on how to sign up.

TEACHERS ELVES

Do you have some time to spare during the day to make copies, laminate, and complete other tasks for teachers? Stay tuned for opportunities to help as a part of our teachers elves program!
