Volunteer

Your involvement is so important to the success of our school. Your help, even if it's just a few hours, goes a long way to making sure our school is a great place for our students and families.

DSUSD Volunteer applications will now expire June 30 of every year to ensure this process is completed annually.

How to Become a Volunteer

1. Fill out the Volunteer Application provided by Desert Sand Unified School District.

• Every year all Ronald Reagan Elementary PTO Volunteers must be DSUSD Board approved before beginning as a Ronald Reagan Elementary volunteer. You can apply any time online at the DSUSD’s website: https://applications.dsusd.k12.ca.us/volunteer/.

2. Complete the Mandated Reporter Training.

• Mandated Reporter Training is an additional "clearance" that needs to be done by all volunteers BEFORE being approved. Although Volunteers are not mandated reporters, it is a requirement of the district to train all volunteers. An email will be sent, 3-5 business days after the volunteer submits/renews their application, with a link and username to access a 32 minute training video. Upon completing the training, the volunteer is required to print and initial their "Certificate of Completion". This certificate is required in order to "clear" the volunteer and forward their application for final approval. The certificate may be sent to Personnel Services, Attn: Delyzia Rosales or the volunteer may bring it directly to the Personnel Office.

3. Become a Supervisory (AB346) Volunteer.

• A Supervisory (AB346) Volunteer is a volunteer serving alone as a supervisor to students. i.e. driving students, field trips, tutoring, or any supervision away from the certificated or AB346 cleared employee. This requires Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) fingerprint clearance. This clearance will require a non-refundable fee and will be valid as long as your child attends DSUSD.
• *The fingerprinting process is only required if you are a new Supervisory AB346 volunteer and have not been processed for DOJ/FBI fingerprints for DSUSD OR has had break in service within the last three (3) years.
