Selma F. Bartlett Elementary School
Parent Volunteer Policy
Volunteering with CCSD is a wonderful way for individuals or organizations to directly support our students. There are two types of volunteer opportunities - those that require background checks and those that do not:
-
Volunteerism that requires a CCSD background check are activities that include direct services and contact with students without a badged CCSD staff present. Such as field trips, running a student store and after school activies.
-
Volunteerism that does not require a CCSD background check are activities that include direct services and contact with students with a badged CCSD staff present. Such as volunteering in a classroom only.
Volunteer ID Badge Annual Renewal Process
Volunteers must renew their school-site approval and obtain a new sticker for their badge annually.
-
Volunteers who need to renew their badge will contact schools directly to request to volunteer.
-
All volunteers must view the mandatory videos and acknowledge that they understand expectations for appropriate interactions with students within ten (10) business days of starting their service.
-
Best practice is to have volunteers complete training prior to beginning service.
-
Badged volunteers may be issued the renewal sticker for their badge upon completion of the training.
-
-
Volunteers who will not have unsupervised contact with students are not required to complete a background check and are not required to have a badge; however, principals must ensure that these volunteers have viewed the mandatory videos and acknowledged their responsibilities as a CCSD Representative.
-
Volunteers who have already received a renewal sticker and that have already completed the required videos as part of their mandatory employment training are NOT required to watch the videos again at each school where they wish to volunteer.
-
CCSD Employees who also volunteer at a school, and will have unsupervised contact with students, must be approved by the school’s principal and must present their ELMS transcript as proof of training completion. Once verified, the principal or designee may add the volunteer to the list of badged volunteers for the school by emailing volunteers@nv.ccsd.net.
-
Principals may require volunteers to participate in additional school specific orientation or training activities.
If you have any questions regarding the process, please contact your assigned TAT Director.
* “Unsupervised contact” is defined as direct contact or interaction with one or more students who are not under the direct supervision of an employee of the school district or other person designated by a public school as the person responsible for pupils. Students are considered under the direct supervision of an employee if the employee is present in the same room and has visual contact with the student or, if outdoors, is within 30 yards of the student OR has visual contact with the student. Incidental contact with students, such as walking through a hallway during passing period, is not considered “unsupervised contact”.
