Visitors and Volunteers

The Wilkes County Board of Education values the support of school volunteers, including families, community members, and local businesses, recognizing their contributions to student success and school improvement.

Volunteers serve without compensation and provide support in various roles to enhance learning. All volunteers must be professional and dependable. Those working directly with students (e.g., field trips, extracurriculars, athletics) must submit an application and pass a criminal background check.

Volunteer Levels: Beginning July 1, 2025, all previous volunteers must reapply due to a new application system.

Level 1 Volunteer: No direct, unsupervised student contact (e.g., copying, organizing materials). No background check required.
Level 2 Volunteer: Direct, unsupervised contact with students (e.g., chaperones). Background check required.

Approval is not guaranteed.

School Visits

We are very pleased to have guests at Moravian Falls Elementary, particularly parents who wish to visit the school for sincere educational purposes. However, in order for us to monitor who has access to our children, it is necessary that ALL visitors and parents come to the front office upon arrival to receive a pass before entering the main school building during a regular school day. Conferences before school and after school must be scheduled with the classroom teacher. If you contact the school, the teacher will be glad to return your call or send a note to verify a specific date and time. Volunteers are required to have a background check on file with Wilkes County Schools.

Lunch Visits

Parents, guardians, and family members are welcome to join their students for lunch as a special treat. Please arrive five minutes early to allow time for check-in. Guests and students will sit at a separate table from the class. Visitors may purchase a school lunch (see cafeteria guidelines for pricing) or bring lunch from home.

Please avoid bringing food from restaurants or outside businesses, and review the Cafeteria Guidelines for information on allowable items.
