Want to join your student on a field trip this year? We’d love to have you as a chaperone!

This school year, the District has changed its policy regarding field trip chaperones. This year, everyone who chaperones field trips, even parents/guardians, must have an approved volunteer packet on file. This change helps ensure the safety and security of all students, staff, and volunteers during school-sponsored events.

 The approval process can take a couple weeks, so be sure to get started early! You can find all the details here: https://cromer.fusd1.org/volunteer
To become an approved FUSD Volunteer:

  1. Complete the Volunteer Packet and bring it to the school you wish to volunteer with. The school will call your references and let you know when your packet is ready for submission.

  2. The 3rd page of the Volunteer Packet includes a Volunteer Form to Notarize.  You are welcome to have the page notarized at an alternate location. Otherwise, the district office is available to notarize forms on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:00 - 4:00 pm.

  3. Bring your completed Volunteer Packet to Human Resources at the FUSD District Office (3285 E. Sparrow Ave, Flagstaff, AZ 86004). Be sure to bring a valid ID or an IVP fingerprint clearance card if you have one.

  4. At the District, they will complete a BIB background screening (unless you already have an IVP fingerprint clearance card).

  5. Once your background screening clears, Human Resources will email a confirmation to you and to Cromer that shows you are approved to chaperone field trips!


After you've received approval from the District Office to be a volunteer, please sign up for NAU's Axe of Service to sign up for a chaperone position!
This year, FUSD has partnered with NAU’s Axe of Service program to track volunteer hours across our schools, so be sure to create an Axe of Service account before volunteering. This helps us show just how big of a difference our volunteers make at Cromer! Whether you’re helping in the classroom or joining us on field trips, we’ll log your time so your impact is recognized and celebrated!
