Volunteer Information

Redwood City School District (RCSD) welcomes volunteers and partners in a systematic process to ensure the health and safety of our students. Over many years, volunteers have provided assistance to our school programs and our collective efforts to educate our students in academic, social, and emotional opportunities. School campuses and the Department of Human Resources have an established and thorough process to ensure safety and communicate expectations to our volunteers.

Depending on your volunteer level, you will be required to submit/complete the following items:

● Volunteer Application

● TB Test Result or TB Risk Assessment

● Driver’s License/Government ID

● Live scan Fingerprints- only required for volunteers who will be alone with students/or on field trips

All volunteers must fill out a RCSD Volunteer Form and submit proper documentation to the district office prior to volunteering.  https://www.rcsdk8.net/our-programs-and-services/human-resources/volunteer. If you have completed the volunteer form already, then you do not need to repeat each year.  

Please follow regular visitor procedures, including signing in at the office and wearing a name tag.  We welcome your help in the following areas when you’re available to do so:  

• Being a chaperone on a field trip

• Reading to students or listening to students read 

• Helping out with special events

• Assisting teachers in the classroom

• Preparing activity packets or Thursday folders
