Volunteers are the backbone of Garrison-Jones Elementary School. Our children count on you and no effort is too big or small. All help is always appreciated and welcomed.

Once you completed the fingerprinting screening Garrison-Jones will provide you with an authorization form that you will need to take to the Walter Pownall Service Center (11111 S Belcher Road, Largo, FL) to pick up your badge. Please contact the school for any additional questions.
