    Volunteers should complete an online application that contains a background check authorization.  

    The link to the online application is at 

     

    Background Check 

    • After the application is completed and submitted, it automatically transfers to the database of the Office of Professional Standards for a background check.
    •  
    • An email will be sent alerting volunteers whether or not the background check is cleared and, therefore, the volunteer is "approved" or not "approved."
    •  
    • If the background check is clear, the system will automatically send an email to the applicant and, at the same time, build a profile in the school database.
    •  
    • Volunteers can proceed to call school for current volunteer positions and any other requirements necessary prior to start.

     

    Orientation

    Volunteers should attend orientation at the school or at the Professional Development Center.

    The District will work with individuals and Volunteer Coordinators to make this requirement easy and manageable.

     

    Placement

    School volunteer coordinators conduct placement.

    Approved volunteers will be required to present a current photo identification issued by any U.S. Government agency at the school(s) the first time they volunteer.  The main office will verify information provided in the application.

    Volunteers must sign in and sign out every time they volunteer at the campus.
