What do I need?

The Anchorage School District uses the RAPTOR system to process all volunteer and volunteer driver information. For information on the RAPTOR system please visit the FAQ page HERE. 

We LOVE volunteers at Denali Montessori! Although the Montessori Method depends a great deal on the prepared environment of the classroom, this prepared environment is not easy to provide. A great deal of time and energy is required from the teacher of each class as well as from the children's families. We need volunteers to help in the workroom, reading cart, field trips, morning drop off, afternoon dismissal and more! Whether you have 15 minutes or an hour, we welcome your support. To volunteer in our school, please make sure you have completed the Anchorage School District Volunteer Application and Waiver. This is required to be completed EVERY school year, and takes 5-7 business days to process. Additionally, when you come in to volunteer, you must have your state-issued driver's license or ID. 

Lottery families at Denali are expected to volunteer 40 hours per year per enrolled child while at Denali, as outlined in the lottery agreement. New for the 25/26 school year, the RAPTOR System will also be able to help you track your volunteer hours through the volunteer portal!

Driving on a field trip is a great way to spend time with your child and their class!  A volunteer driver form, proof of insurance, vehicle registration, and drivers license must also be submitted via the RAPTOR system. 

*Volunteer and Driver applications cannot be processed same day, please submit documents with enough time for processing*
