Parent Volunteer Information
Spectrum Welcomes Volunteers!
The success of Spectrum is in large part due to the direct involvement of our families. Research also indicates that students' success in school is often tied to the academic support and involvement of their parents/guardians. Spectrum welcomes your involvement at school. In fact, we encourage our families to volunteer around twenty hours per school year. Through the generous and helpful spirits of our families, pitching in and lending a hand in a wide variety of areas, Spectrum has been able to accomplish great things over the years and our students have reached tremendous heights. No task is too small and all help is greatly appreciated!
Getting Started?
Spectrum has a person on staff to connect our parents/guardians with the needs of the school. Brianna Notsch, our Volunteer Coordinator, can be found at the high school building. She can be contacted at bnotsch@spectrumhighschool.org
At Spectrum, we utilize an electronic database system called VolunteerHub for our volunteers to sign up and track their volunteer hours from any computer. It records volunteer hours directly to the individual. Links to the login pages can be found by clicking on the dropdown "VolunteerHub" tab under "Parent Volunteer Information".
Getting set up is quick and easy! Go to VolunteerHub and create an account, following the promptings. You’ll receive a welcome email from administration once a background check is submitted and approved. Remember to check spam folders in case the message gets caught in the filter.

Spectrum believes the safety of our students is paramount and requires that all volunteers complete a Background Check Form before volunteering. The Background Check Form can be found by following the link below or picking one up in the school office.
Background Check - Please fill out and submit via email bnotsch@spectrumhighschool.org OR drop off at the High School during office hours of Monday through Friday 7:00 am - 3:15 pm.
What if I'm not able to volunteer? Are there other ways I can contribute?
Spectrum understands that parents' lives can get very busy between work, home, family, and other responsibilities. As a result, they are not always able to volunteer at school as much as they would like. If this is the case and parents would still like to support their child's education and the school in other ways, they are welcome to donate *financially (gift cards or currency preferred). These funds are typically used to free up moneys in the classroom. No amount is too little and all contributions are greatly appreciated. To donate, go to Campus Portal and choose FEES/OPTIONAL/VOLUNTEER DONATIONS.
*According to the nonProfit TImes (April 14, 2015), the value of volunteering is approximately $23/hr. These are funds saved by the school that are able to be allocated to other educational needs.
