Volunteer Training/Updating Annual Documents

Please see the District's Volunteer Info Page for details on updating your annual volunteer training. The process has changed for the 2026-2027 school year. On the district page you will information on how to update your paperwork for the year. Existing volunteers will watch a short video and complete a Google form (Please note: it is very important you complete the testimonial after you complete your general registration. You will be unable to volunteer until that piece is done.

New volunteers will complete a different video and the same paperwork, again please note the testimonial is required as well.

Non Familial volunteers (those that are not legal guardians/biological relatives to students at this school) will need to obtain a Non Familial application each year and complete it and turn it in to the Volunteer Coordinator.

Please note that there are no longer any in person trainings but we do require district review and approval before you are cleared to volunteer. The sooner you can complete the videos and documentation the better.

Volunteering is a scheduled, pre-arranged activity. When a volunteer expresses an interest in working at school and wants to assist with the type of jobs for which help
is needed, there are district guidelines that must be followed for safety and legal reasons before a volunteer begins to work. For the purposes of these guidelines and
procedures, volunteers are defined as those people who donate time in schools or with students on a regular or recurring basis or serve as chaperones. Guest
speakers or those who assist with a single event are not subject to these guidelines unless that single event falls into one of the fingerprint categories.
Volunteers may not bring other children to school while volunteering in a classroom, the office or on a field trip.
