èßäÊÓƵ

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for èßäÊÓƵ! 
We believe that families and community members are important partners to support our èßäÊÓƵ. To ensure a safe environment for our èßäÊÓƵ, PPS requires volunteers to follow the steps below. Please review the Volunteer Code of Conduct (Step 1) and Mandatory Volunteer Training (Step 2) prior to completing the volunteer application (Step 3). In the online volunteer application, you will need to sign that you have reviewed these materials and agree to adhere to all of the requirements. A person is considered a volunteer if they have the potential for unsupervised contact with PPS èßäÊÓƵ during èßäÊÓƵ hours, including chaperones for field trips.

  Criminal Records and Volunteer Background Check Information

  èßäÊÓƵ will conduct a criminal background check on volunteer applicants, and we reserve the right to deny applicants with a criminal history and registered sex offenders. PPS recognizes that a criminal record alone is not an indication of the value volunteers offer to our èßäÊÓƵ. When reviewing criminal records, the èßäÊÓƵ district also considers:

  • The safety of our èßäÊÓƵ and staff
  • The nature and gravity of the offense (s)
  • The time that has passed since the conviction and/or sentence
  • The nature of the volunteer work for which the applicant is requesting to volunteer
  • The positive impact the individual has had within the community since the offense

  If you have questions you may contact our Security Services Department at securityservices@pps.net or (503) 916-3000. We respect your privacy and any conversations with regard to your background check will be kept confidential. Refer to Administrative Directive 5.10.141-AD for additional information and district policy on volunteering.
