Volunteer Requirements

Volunteers are a huge part of the PVES community. Whether on-campus or off-campus, our school appreciates all the help our volunteers have to offer. Level 1 clearance is required for on-campus activities where school staff are present. Level 2 clearance is required for volunteers who are coaching a club/team or will be chaperoning field trips.

For first-time volunteers, the process may take several weeks. It is highly suggested that first-time volunteers turn in the required paperwork to the school's front office when the school year begins. You must complete your Level 1 or Level 2 clearance every year.

Steps to be a Level I volunteer requires completion of the following:

1. Complete the following forms

   1. Level I Application  (Megan’s Law) 

   2. Volunteer Code of Conduct 

   3. Volunteer Code of Confidentiality 

   4. Proof of identification/driver’s license [proof of identification/driver’s license to be shown at school site]

2. Applicants will turn in completed forms plus proof of a TB clearance to the school site where they plan to volunteer. TB Testing requirements can be found in the section below titled “TB Testing”. TB tests must be kept current to continue volunteering.

3. The school site will then notify you once your application is approved.
