REGISTERING AS A VOLUNTEER WITH SPS
Everyone who works with students and/or volunteers inside the school — chaperoning field trips, volunteering in the classroom, working PTA events during school hours, etc. — 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. (Lived somewhere else? Click here.) Failing to do the correct background check or providing incomplete info will slow down your approval. SPS will let you know the status of your application, or check with the Adams Front Office. SPS recommends applying no less than three weeks before you plan to volunteer.
