Volunteer Process

1. All returning volunteers are ready to go once they have submitted to the central office the volunteer renewal form at the start of the school year.  This is available online or reach out to the building secretary or Athletic Director.  If a returning volunteer needs to update any clearances due to the closure of its 5-year window, the Superintendent’s office will be in contact with them. Click here to view the renewal document.  Return to the central office when completed.
2. If you are a new volunteer, you must obtain three clearances.  Click here to view the document outlining how to obtain your clearances.  

• • Once you have obtained all three clearances, bring then to central office between the hours of 8:00 AM-2:30 PM.  If your volunteer work will be more than 10 hours a week, you must also have a TB test completed.  We will need the results brought to us with the clearances.  Your clearances will then be reviewed.    
  • If possible, once your clearances are approved we will complete your orientation for volunteering in the same visit.  If this is not possible, an orientation meeting will be scheduled at this time.
  • We will complete the volunteer application at the orientation.  We will then send this to the building or program for confirmation from the administrator that they are aware you will be volunteering, and they will notify you once they have approved your application.

No one is allowed to volunteer prior to this process being complete.

Thanks everyone for your help and cooperation with this!
