Volunteering

Dear Parent Volunteers,

We greatly appreciate your willingness to volunteer in your child’s classroom throughout the school year!

To prioritize student and staff safety and security, the District Policy mandates that ALL visitors must check in at the school office before entering a classroom or visiting the campus. Access to the campus or specific classrooms may be restricted to ensure minimal disruptions to the instructional program. We kindly request all adult visitors and volunteers adhere to these guidelines and support our commitment to maintaining a secure learning environment. Additionally, all students have the right to privacy, and as a volunteer, you can not share any information about students. Avoid sharing student information with anyone, including parents, friends, or community members, as violating confidentiality is against the law. The U.S. Congress has addressed the privacy-related concerns of educators, parents/guardians, and students by enacting the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (known more commonly as “FERPA” or the “Buckley Amendment”). 

Forms required to volunteer on campus: 

Confidentiality Form (to be completed yearly)

TB Assessment Form(valid for four years)

In compliance with California law (AB 1667), all school volunteers must be free of infectious tuberculosis (TB). To meet this requirement, volunteers are required to complete a TB Risk Assessment every four years. The assessment form is available in the front office and can be completed through a visit with your general practitioner or a health care provider. If you're unsure whether your current form is still valid, please check with the health clerk to confirm your expiration date.

The requirement for a TB assessment is the following: Persons volunteering with frequent or prolonged contact with pupils. As a district we have defined this as parents volunteering in the classroom (media center, art, etc.) or going on a field trip. It is NOT required for parents who will be on campus to watch a performance, go to open house or attend other events on campus.
