VOLUNTEER CENTER 

The Sheridan Japanese School expects parent involvement and support. Some volunteer opportunities involve helping in the classroom or office, teaching selective classes, cleaning, committees, attending board meetings and much more. SJS requests that each family volunteer at least twenty hours a year. Volunteers involved in any direct contact with students will need to complete paperwork for a background check.
