VOLUNTEER

***IMPORTANT*** 

All volunteers and spectators of PTC events on school grounds need to complete the mandatory BSD Raptor Background check.  

This process takes up to 6 weeks to complete so please make sure to do it well in advance.  

Start here on the BSD volunteering website  to view the required trainings.  Once complete, click on the Volunteer Application to get started.

If you show up to volunteer and have not received approval from Raptor (even if your application is pending), you will get turned away by the school office. 

How to find West TV Volunteer Opportunities

Once you receive Raptor clearance to volunteer, you'll need to access ParentSquare to sign up for our volunteering opportunities. 

If you are a parent volunteer...

You should already have access to ParentSquare.  You'll see volunteer needs advertised in Monday Minute and teacher/principal newsletters. The links provided in the newsletters will take you directly to the ParentSquare sign ups.  You may also choose to browse ParentSquare directly for opportunities. 

If you are a non-parent or community volunteer...

If you have not already signed up for ParentSquare, or cannot see the West Tualatin View Elementary School Community Volunteers group on ParentSquare, please go to the link below and request to be added.  You should get an e-mail from BSD that gives directions on how to activate your account after you submit the form.   Request to join community groups
