Thank you so much for your interest in volunteering in the PASD schools!
Whether you are a first-timer or a returning volunteer, we are so happy you are here! Volunteers provide an extra layer of support, bring in fresh ideas and talents, and are an invaluable addition to our educational team. We have lots of volunteer opportunities available at every level. We encourage you to find the right fit for your interests and availability.
We have simplified the application process, making it even easier to join our volunteer force.
• All prospective volunteers will complete an online application and upload the required clearances. Then your name will be included for the next month’s Board approval.
• Once you are Board approved, you may volunteer at any school. Please note—this process is required for ALL volunteers, including Home & School activities, booster clubs, etc.
• Once you are approved by the Board, your status automatically renews each year, so you will not need to reapply in future years. You will need to keep your clearances up-to-date to keep your volunteer status active. You will receive a notice when they are close to expiration and you will be asked to upload an updated copy to your Frontline account.
Requirements for all PASD Volunteers:
Clearances are valid for 5 years. If your clearances are expired, please update them before uploading to your application. Your application will not be board approved if you upload expired clearances. Please retain copies of clearances for your own records.
