Thank you for your willingness to volunteer! We greatly appreciate your time and energy!
These requirements are in place to ensure the safety of all our students. Please complete the necessary paperwork and clearances for the type of volunteer duties you will be performing. These requirements are set by San Diego Unified School District.
Requirements for ALL Volunteers:
- Provide results of Tuberculin skin test or blood draw. If you've had a positive skin test in the past, bring a copy of your chest x-ray report. TB tests are valid for 4 years from test date. If you think TPES has a non-expired TB clearance on file, let us know... we will check. Expired volunteer applications and TB clearances are shredded each year.
- OR if you can answer NO to all the questions on the TB Risk Assessment form you can utilize that instead (must be signed by a nurse, doctor, or other qualified health professional). These forms are ONLY good for the current school year and must be completed each year.
- Complete a new Volunteer Application each school year. Return the completed application with your TB test results to the TPES office.
- Read and acknowledge understanding of the Volunteer Code of Conduct.
Additional requirements for driving on School Field Trips (each time!):
- Proof of Insurance and copy of driver's license. Please bring a copy of these items to the classroom teacher prior to the field trip.
- In addition, there are 3 other forms to sign.
You will carry this paperwork with you along with the permission forms of the students in your car during the field trip.
If you have specific questions regarding your status at TPES or about any of the various forms listed above, please contact Volunteer Coordinator.
