Thank you for your interest in volunteering in our schools!

Washington Unified School District (WUSD) continues to follow current guidance from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to adapt protocols across levels of district operations. As such, our team has reviewed and adjusted districtwide volunteer policies to align with current guidelines while ensuring the highest degree of safety and well-being for everyone on school campuses.

WUSD is grateful for the support of its community and welcomes all volunteers ready to contribute to the success of school events, activities, and daily learning experiences. Below you will find more information regarding the volunteer process in our schools. This information is effective as of Wednesday, September 7, 2022.

steps to becoming a volunteer

  1. Begin at the school site where you plan to volunteer.
  2. The school will provide you with a Volunteer Application.  Complete the form and submit it to the school administration for review and approval. Once approved, the form will be returned to you.
  3. Next, gather and submit (in person) all the required documents to the Human Resources Department.

required documents

 
  • Volunteer Application with the signature of the school's administrator
  • Current Negative TB Test (dated within the past 60 days) or Chest X-Ray
  • Copy of a state-issued identification
  • Background clearance completed through Live  Scan Fingerprinting.  

All documents listed above must be turned in to Human Resources before we can provide a Live Scan form.  Please be prepared to take a picture for your Volunteer Badge.
 
Upon clearance from Human Resources, Volunteer Badges will be sent to the school site. Human Resources will contact volunteers for their approval. Volunteers must wear Volunteer Badges while on any WUSD sites and during functions.
 
Please note, volunteers who have been cleared prior to the 2022-2023 school year should confirm with Alex Perez that their TB test and clearances are up to date before volunteering at a school site.
