Step 1:South Washington County School District Volunteer Registration
THE VOLUNTEER PROCESS
All volunteers at SoWashCo Schools are required to apply through an online application to create their district profile. Per School Board Policy 903.5 Volunteer Background Checks, all volunteers must complete a background check. BACKGROUND CHECKS The process to obtain a background check is completed online through the volunteer application. Volunteers will get an automatic reminder to update their background check when they are near the two-year renewal date. The background check will take 48 hours or less and will cost $5, which will be paid online. Anyone who does not have access to a computer, or needs to pay in a different way should contact Community Education. If you are unsure about your status with the school district, you can contact: Community Education volunteers@sowashco.org 651-425-6601 |
