Volunteer Registration 2023 - 2024
Thank you for volunteering in the Melrose Public Schools. Volunteers make our schools and community stronger, and we appreciate you!!

This registration form is for the 2023 - 2024 school year.

As a volunteer of The Bridge: A School/Community Partnership working in the Melrose Public Schools, you will be subject to a code of ethics similar to that which binds the professional staff. You will be assuming certain responsibilities and need to be accountable for them. You need to understand the importance of confidentiality, and agree to keep confidential any information you learn about students or their families, teachers, or staff.

Thus, prior to volunteering, you must read the confidentiality and ethics code, and confirm that you have read it:  https://tinyurl.com/BridgeConfidentialityCode  This link will be at the end of the application as well, and you will be asked to acknowledge that you have read it before submitting your application.

Before volunteering in the schools you must complete this form and have a valid CORI on file with The Bridge. If you are not sure if you have a CORI on file, or have any questions about volunteering or need any assistance, please email The Bridge's Coordinator Lisa Lewis at llewis@melroseschools.com.
