Volunteer
Thank you for your interest in volunteering at Adams!
There are many ways you can contribute, and every contribution, large or small, makes an impact. This page will help you get started.
Step one
Registering as a volunteer with SPS
Everyone who works with students or volunteers inside the school during the day (chaperoning field trips, helping in the classroom, working PTA events during school hours) must be an approved volunteer with SPS. The process includes watching a training video, providing a copy of a photo ID, and proving that you have lived in Washington State for three years or more.
The district has a new, simplified system for approving volunteers for the 26-27 school year! The "invite form" has been phased out, and the volunteer application is publicly accessible again.
- Confirm a volunteer role with your child's classroom teacher.
- Complete the volunteer application. Be sure to enter the name of the staff member you'll be supporting.
- New and returning volunteers can find everything needed to complete or update the application on the SPS Volunteer Website (opens in a new tab).
