2023-2024 Volunteer Application Process and Guidelines
TTUSD Volunteers play a vital role in enhancing our student experience, offering a wonderful opportunity for families and community members to engage, connect with students, support our exceptional teachers, and contribute to building a stronger sense of community.
In an effort to simplify our volunteer process, we have made a few changes for the 2023-2024 school year. Here are the key updates:
-
Fingerprinting for Unsupervised Volunteers can now be done by TTUSD employees at the District Office in Truckee, free of charge.
-
The TB Risk Assessment can be completed online with no associated costs—special thanks to our nursing staff for managing this process.
Remember to submit your annual application and required documents at the beginning of the school year to ensure clearance for the current school year. Please note that clearance times for background checks/fingerprints are individual and not governed by our office. Make sure to submit your application and required documents well before the field trip you’re hoping to help with, allowing for the varying Department of Justice clearance timelines.
Clearance Levels
-
There are two clearance levels based on the nature of the volunteer work: Supervised and Unsupervised.
-
Supervised Volunteers: These volunteers are under the constant supervision of a TTUSD employee and are not alone with students at any time. This includes roles such as classroom volunteers, office volunteers, field trip volunteers under supervision the entire time, and fundraiser volunteers.
-
Unsupervised Volunteers: These volunteers work with students without direct TTUSD employee supervision. This includes roles like hallway monitors, field trip drivers, field trip volunteers who are responsible for a group of students without staff present at all times, and volunteers working with students outside the classroom.
-
-
Contact your site principal for guidance if unsure about the appropriate clearance level.
Clearance Processes
-
Supervised Volunteers: Apply through a simple online District Volunteer Application within the Raptor system, available in English and Español.
-
The form requires basic personal information, should take less than 10 minutes, and has no associated fees.
-
Soon after submission, you will be notified of your approval status via email.
-
-
Unsupervised Volunteers: Due to the nature of being alone with students, the process to be cleared as an unsupervised volunteer is more robust. As a first-time unsupervised volunteer, complete the Annual Volunteer Clearance Application online through the Informed K-12 system.
-
A volunteer clearance application must be submitted for each individual school site.
-
Here are a few tips as you fill out the form.
