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.
