Volunteering at Viewlands

There are numerous ways for people to be involved in Viewlands. Whether donating time as a volunteer, supporting our community by attending school events, or being a present and active member in the Viewlands Elementary Parent-Teacher-Student Association (VEPTSA) veptsa@viewlandsptsa.org, we are so appreciative of our volunteers!

Parents may volunteer in classrooms, the library, and in our cafeteria with lunch. Carkeek Park Educational Center has training for parents to become docents of this amazing park furthering the partnership between the park and Viewlands Elementary School.

All volunteers must complete an online application process. Get started and find the Volunteer Application and Chaperone Application in the right hand column. Here you will also find a link to the short, required, one-time-only safe boundaries training video (ASM).  Please upload the following documents in the application:  1) copy of Driver’s License 2) ASM Completion Certificate 3) proof of 3-year Washington residency if your driver’s license was issued less then three years from the present date. You will not need to submit proof of the 3-year residency if your student has attended Viewlands for 3+ years. If you are unable to upload these documents please feel free to submit copies to the school office. 

Viewlands PTSA (VEPTSA) has been busy planning extracurricular activities and community building events. To learn how you can join, or for more information about their sponsored events, please visit the Viewlands PTSA.

We are excited about building sustainable relationships with various community organizations like Carkeek Park, the Windermere Foundation, SDOT and City of Seattle Preschool to further benefit the academic learning of our students.

Please contact Leandra Davidson – lddavidson@seattleschools.org with any questions.
