Parent/Guardian Groups and Volunteering
Visiting/Volunteering
West Des Moines Community Schools (WDMCS) is happy to have visitors and volunteers in our schools! Visitors come to watch assemblies, have lunch with their child, or visit their child’s classroom. It's important to arrange visits with the teacher ahead of time and to follow expectations outlined in student handbooks.
Volunteers help with various projects at school, like classroom assistance or participating in support groups. To learn more about volunteering, call your school office. Volunteers may go through extra checks.

Parent/Guardian Groups
Joining parent/guardian groups is a great way to be part of your child's school. Members often help out, raise money, plan events, and share important information with other families. If you want to join, contact your school's parent/guardian group for details.
