Get Involved

Good to know before you start:

• The volunteer process usually takes about a week from start to finish.  It includes several steps, including filling out an online application and completing online training.

• To complete the application, you will need a government-issued ID to upload into the system (i.e. driver’s license, DMV-issued ID).

• Once approved, your application is valid for three years.

• Questions about your volunteer application?  Email Alicia Zekan at APS  alicia.zekan@apsva.us.

Approved Volunteers should:

• Ring the bell to be let into the entrance vestibule.  Visitors cannot enter through the main doors during school hours.

• Sign in to the Visitor Management System through the computer in the vestibule using your driver’s license and get a visitor badge.

o If it is your first time signing in, scan your driver’s license at the computer in the vestibule and get your picture taken.

o Once you have checked in, let the front office know where you are headed.

• Wear your volunteer nametag at all times while on school property. 

• Sign out upon leaving the school.
