Interested in Volunteering?
Would you like to volunteer at RCES for the 2022-2023 school year? We encourage all family and community members to come and volunteer their time to support the students and staff of Rachel Carson. It takes a village to help our students thrive and we want you by our side. At this time, we are asking for front office and lunch recess support. We will expand volunteer opportunities in October.
To volunteer you must first complete the required training. Go to this website for more information https://docs.google.com/document/d/1URJRNYdUyyL0ghVzZ32xLqPmkE7IwUvcRF2qid89ojA/preview
