Volunteering 101

Supervised volunteers

Supervised Volunteers will be under the supervision of a certificated employee at all times and will not be alone with students. This includes classroom volunteers, office volunteers, field trip volunteers under direct supervision, fundraiser volunteers, etc.  

You can apply through a simple online District Volunteer Application within the Raptor system. You can access the application in both English and Español.

The form requires basic personal information so applicants can be run through the Raptor security check. Upon completion, you’ll get an email notification that your application has been received. Soon after, you’ll be notified via email of your approval status. This process only needs to be done once per school year and can be completed in less than 10 minutes. There are no fees associated with the application. 

Unsupervised volunteers

Unsupervised Volunteers will be with students without the supervision of a TTUSD certificated employee. This includes field trip drivers, hallway monitors, field trip volunteers where you are in charge of a group of students without staff present at all times, working with students outside the classroom, etc. 

Unsupervised volunteers will complete the Annual Volunteer Clearance Application online through a different system, Informed K-12. A few notes to help you fill out the form.  A volunteer application will need to be submitted for each individual school site:

  • Complete all red boxes in the Volunteer Information section.

  • For the “Supervisor” line, write the site you’re planning to volunteer at.

  • Volunteer Drivers need to attach proof of "Bodily Injury Liability Limit Insurance at a minimum of $100,000/$300,000 

  • Volunteer Drivers need to attach a 3 Year Driving Record that can be obtained online at California DMV or Nevada DMV

  • Volunteer Coaches need to attach Coach Certifications (CPR, First Aid, Concussion and Fundamentals of Coaching)

  • Click the “Submit Form” button to route it to the appropriate school site administrator.

  • If you get a pop-up box asking if you’re a site/department administrator, click no.

  • Incomplete Volunteer Applications will be deleted after (30) days

Next Steps for Volunteers:
Once your application has been routed through the appropriate channels, you’ll receive a welcome email from Human Resources explaining the next steps in final clearance-which includes an in person appointment for fingerprinting by our in-house Certified LiveScan Rollers.

Previously Approved Volunteer Drivers

  • If you’ve been previously approved as a volunteer driver, you do not need to go through the entire process again.

  • Annually, every year following after initial clearance,  you’ll need to complete the Volunteer Clearance Application online for each requested school site

  • Attach a 3-year driving record that can be obtained online through the California DMV for $2

  • Attach proof of "Bodily Injury Liability Limit Insurance at a minimum of $100,000/$300,000.

  • Submit the application to the school Principal, who will audit your driving record and insurance and submit to Human Resources 

  • Human Resources will verify your 22-23 clearance and, if approved, process your form for final clearance

  • Volunteers are notified of clearance once the form is signed by the Principal.

We appreciate your cooperation throughout this process. Please know our students’ and employees’ safety is a priority, and all decisions are made with that top of mind. We value our generous and dedicated volunteers - your efforts are monumental in enriching a top-quality education for all TTUSD learners.

Our Human Resources Department facilitates the volunteer process for each volunteer once your application has been submitted.  If you have questions at any time throughout the process, please contact Human Resources directly and not the school site where you wish to volunteer.  The clearance process is confidential to each individual, and clearance times vary according to personal background information. Our district does not control the timeline for results provided by the California Department of Justice and FBI.
