Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What is volunteer clearance? What does it mean to be a cleared volunteer?
A: Volunteer clearance is a process required by the district for any volunteer activity during school hours that involves working with students, to ensure the safety of our students. Once you have completed the process, you are considered a cleared volunteer throughout your student's CCUSD career.
Q: What are the steps to becoming a cleared volunteer?
A: The process is currently being revised, but STEP 1 is to complete a Volunteer Application (available in the front office) and return it to the front office. Note that the Volunteer Application includes a TB assessment (that may require a TB test), and the process also includes LiveScan fingerprinting and a volunteer orientation with Principal McCullen.
Q: Do I need to be cleared in order to volunteer?
A: No. We have plenty of volunteer opportunities that do not require clearance. These include activities after school or on weekends (Student Store and many of our family events), independent efforts (collecting or delivering items, organizing materials, coordinating activities).
Q: How do I find out about volunteer opportunities?
A: Opportunities are advertised through the volunteer email list, in the Rocket Review, in the El Rincon Rockets FB group, and right here on this page (http://volunteer.elrinconpta.org).
Q: How do I get on the volunteer email list?
A: If you have filled out the Volunteer Interest Form or signed up for something through SignUpGenius, you should be receiving the volunteer emails that are also included below. If you have not received these emails, please email [email protected] so we can try to figure out why.
Q: I am not able to make an ongoing or long-term commitment. Can I still volunteer?
A: Yes! We have plenty of opportunities that require only an hour or a morning/afternoon/evening.
Q: I would like to take a more active role OR I have an idea for something that doesn't exist OR I want to volunteer but can't find an opportunity that's a good fit. What should I do?
A: Please contact Billie Shipley at [email protected], and we'll discuss!
