Parent Volunteers
Early and consistent parental involvement helps children do well academically. Parents/guardians and extended family are encouraged and welcomed to become involved in the formal education of their children by volunteering at AES. A volunteer is any individual who assists at a school site or District office without monetary compensation. This includes parents, community members, interns and in some cases, high school or college students.
Parents/guardians who are unable to volunteer at the school site during the day due to certain circumstances may apply to be an at-home or virtual volunteer, where they can participate in the virtual environment, or may support volunteer activities from their homes.
HOW CAN I BECOME AN ON CAMPUS VOLUNTEER?
Any person interested in participating in a school’s volunteer program, including continuing volunteers, LAUSD employees, community members and interns, must complete two simple steps in order to start the process to become a volunteer.
#STEP 1. Obtain a TB Clearance. Tier II and Tier III volunteers must provide clearance of TB prior to starting on-campus volunteer services. Valid forms of TB clearance include:
- An Adult Tuberculosis Risk Assessment (BUL-6746.5, Attachment J) administered by a health care provider verifying no TB risk factors.
- TB test results
- A chest x-ray is acceptable proof of TB clearance
Employees can check on their TB clearance date in the Employee Self Service tool, https://ess.lausd.net.
TB tests for new LAUSD volunteers are valid for up to 60 days prior to starting volunteer services. TB clearance for continuing volunteers is valid for a period of up to four years from the date of the clearance.
Send the TB clearance to Barbara Lamperti either via email [email protected] or bring physical copies to the main office.
#STEP 2. Fill the online volunteer application on the School Volunteer Management System
---------
ALL THE DOCUMENTS MUST BE SUBMITTED WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM WHEN YOU OPEN THE APPLICATION. AFTER 30 DAYS THE APPLICATION WILL BE DENIED.
---------
Once approved from the District, parents will receive an email with a temporary volunteer badge attached to the letter. Please bring the email letter with you to show the main office when signing in until your 2023-2024 badge arrives to the school site.
An official LAUSD volunteer badge will be issued by the district and sent through school mail to the school site within the following weeks.
The temporary and the permanent LAUSD volunteer badges are non-transferable between volunteers or between school and office sites. Badges must be visible while volunteers are providing service on campus.
On-Campus Tier II and Tier III school volunteers are required to sign in and pick-up their LAUSD volunteer badges upon entering the campus. School volunteers are to sign out when they exit the campus and leave their LAUSD volunteer badges at the school at the end of the day.
---------
Volunteers serving at more than one LAUSD school must have a completed online application, printed and signed, for each school before they can begin service.
