Volunteering at Viewlands
There
are numerous ways for people to be involved in Viewlands. Whether it be
donating your 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) viewlandsptsa@gmail.com
Parents may volunteer in classrooms, in the library, in our cafeteria
with lunch serving or in the office. 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. We are so
appreciative of our volunteers!
All volunteers do need to complete an online
application process. Get started by going to this website https://www.seattleschools.org/families_communities/volunteer
and finding both 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 they three years of 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.
