REGISTERING AS A VOLUNTEER WITH SPS
Everyone who works with students and/or volunteers inside the school during the day— chaperoning field trips, volunteering 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 created 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!
After confirming a volunteer role with your child’s classroom teacher, you may complete the volunteer application. (Be sure to enter the staff member’s name that you’ll be supporting.)
Both new and returning volunteers should find all the information needed to complete or update the volunteer application here: SPS Volunteer Website
Email Ms. Patti in the office with any questions! pjroche@seattleschools.org
Things to note:
Volunteers must be within staff view.
When arriving at school for your volunteer shift, please sign-in using the email address you used when you completed the volunteer application.
