Volunteer Information and Forms
Dear School Volunteers
On behalf of our students, staff, and the entire school community, we extend a sincere and heartfelt welcome to you. We are so grateful for your decision to dedicate your valuable time and unique talents to our school. Your support is a vital component of our mission to create a safe, supportive, and enriching learning environment for every child.
Please note that the following items would be needed at each site you wish to volunteer.
Volunteer Requirements:
- Valid government-issued ID
- Proof of negative TB results within the last 4 years
- Successful completion of a background check (Live Scan Acknowledgement Form)
Please remember:
- TB results must always be attached to the referral, even if they were previously approved.
- If the volunteer states that they have lost/misplaced their results, they should first try to obtain a copy of their TB results directly from the clinic where the test was completed. If unavailable, secretaries may email HR to check if a copy exists—but only as a last resort.
- School sites should also maintain a binder or record of approved volunteers for the year.
New Updates This Year:
- Volunteer's Date of birth is now required on all referrals. This will help expedite the review process.
- Live Scan services will no longer be completed by HR. New volunteers must use a third-party provider of their choice and provide them with the district's "Request for Live Scan Service" form (attached). A frequently used provider is included in this email for reference.
- A Live Scan Acknowledgement Form (attached) is required with every referral. Referrals should only be submitted once the volunteer has completed their background check and signed the acknowledgement form.
Important: Referrals submitted without all required attachments may be denied. Please ensure that all documents are complete—including the signed Live Scan Acknowledgement Form—before submitting through School Stream to avoid delays. Please also be sure to only attach PDF copies to the School Stream form.
You may print out the attached "NEW Volunteer Packet" to any interested volunteers to ensure they submit all of the documentation needed. Please print double-sided.
Thank you for your attention to these updates and for supporting our volunteer process. Have a great day everyone!
