Volunteering

If you aren't sure of how you can volunteer, please check this document for available slots.

Recent changes to our School Board Policy require Poway Unified School District to conduct background clearances for all District volunteers. Parents with children in more than one school will only need to submit paperwork at one school site. Volunteers who are fingerprinted will only need to be fingerprinted once.

Volunteers must be processed and cleared before they will be allowed to work with students.   Volunteer forms (Megan's Law Forms) are available at the office or online:

• Volunteer Application - Megan's Law release
• Volunteer Site Transfer Request
• PUSD Volunteer Code of Conduct

By Board Policy, there will be two levels of volunteers:

• Level I volunteers are those who work under direct supervision and in the presence of a teacher or district employee. The clearance for Level I volunteers will be done through the “Megan’s Law” database at the local sheriff’s department.

• Level II volunteers are those who may have the opportunity for significant unsupervised contact with students in the course of volunteering. Level II volunteers will complete the requirements for Level I and will be fingerprinted so that they may be cleared through the California Department of Justice.

Please return Megan's Law Forms along with proof of a negative TB skin test to the school office.  A volunteer badge will be made for you when clearances are complete. Free TB testing is available, ask the front office for details! Please remember to bring your volunteer application as supporting documentation.
