Planning on Volunteering? For the safety of our students, ABSD requires each year that ALL volunteers submit a volunteer registration form along with a copy of a vaild driver's license or ID before they plan on being in the classroom, going on a field trip, etc. This information is then processed for a background check with the Michigan State Police Department. Volunteer forms can be found online or in your child's school office. Please submit EARLY to allow time for processing. Thank you for your cooperation! Volunteer Form 2019-20
