VOLUNTEER

***ATTENTION***  As of June 2024, Beaverton School District has transitioned away from the MyImpact Online Volunteer System used during the 2023-2024 school year.  This means that ALL volunteers - whether or not you've previously applied to or volunteered at West TV will need to apply and be approved through the new background check system, Raptor.  

Start on the Volunteer webpage on the district website to review the content of the required trainings in written form. It should take less than 5 minutes to review this very important material.

After reviewing the information, click on Volunteer Application, attest that you've read the material and then begin the short application process.

Please apply as soon as possible. Because of high volume, these applications are often up to 6 weeks for apprvoval.    

How to find West TV Volunteer Opportunities

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

If you are a parent volunteer...

You should already have access to ParentSquare.  The most efficient way to sign up for an event is to access the direct sign up link for an event (provided in Monday Minute, teacher newsletters, etc).  You may also browse through current posts to find opportunities of interest. Here's the link to an overview on how to find volunteer opportunities in ParentSquare via either the web browser or the mobile app: Ways to view volunteer Sign Ups in ParentSqaure

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

Do you already have access to ParentSquare and can see our posts?  If so, skip to the last paragraph of this section. 

If you have signed up for ParentSquare but you are not sure if you can see our posts, follow these steps to test.  Log on to the ParentSquare website. On the left side of the home page, there should be a section called Participate. Expand that section to find Groups. You have access if you can see a group called "West Tualatin View Elementary School Community Volunteers."   

If you have not already signed up for ParentSquare, or cannot see the West Tualatin View Elementary School Commuity 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

Once you are able to access that group in ParentSquare, you can view volunteer opportunities following this guide:   

Ways to view volunteer Sign Ups in ParentSqaure

Please let us know if you have any questions on how to access volunteer sign ups.  Art Lit volunteers, you'll get another e-mail from us soon regarding more directions before your first class session.

When you arrive at school for volunteering

• 1. Ring the door bell and wait for the office assistants let you in

  2. Let the office assistant know you are here to volunteer and present your photo ID

  3. When allowed to proceed, retrieve your badge and place it on yourself

  4. Complete your volunteer shift

  5. When you leave,  let the office assistant know so they can sign you out. 

We are still waiting for BSD to finish installing the Volunteer check-in module on the new checkin-in equipment they have in the front office, so the above instructions are likely going to be temporary, and we'll have an update to the check-in procedure soon.

Younger Siblings:

Per the Beaverton School District, siblings are not allowed to come with parents who are volunteering at school. 

Reminders:

• • Please use the restrooms next to the staff room across the hallway of the main building.

  • When working with students, be sure you are within “sight and sound” of a school staff member.

  • Maintain confidentiality by not disclosing student information (test scores, performance, etc.) with anyone other than the teacher.

For more information:

• Summary of Volunteer Protocol.

• Volunteer Orientation presentation for the current year.

• Summary of WTV Activities that involve coordinators or volunteers.

• Reimbursement Form: you can also pick up a paper copy to the right of the volunteer sign-in computer in the school office.

If you have additional questions, please contact the West TV Volunteer coordinator via email.

Thank you for your service to the students and staff at West TV!
