志愿者ing Frequently Asked Questions

I do not have access to the Internet; how can I apply to volunteer?

每个学生都有一个地区发放的设备,可以连接到互联网,家长和监护人可以使用这个设备申请加入SPS的志愿者. 

If you are not a family member of an SPS student, you can visit a public library or a community center. 要获取免费使用电脑和互联网的设施列表, visit this City of Seattle website.

Alternatively, you can visit the John Stanford Center for Educational Excellence, 哪里有两个电脑站可供申请就业及义工服务. They are located between 正规的棋牌平台排行榜 and Security offices.

How is volunteer information protected?

SPS和Samaritan Technologies签署了一份收集协议备忘录, 维护, 并存储志愿者数据,以确保志愿者信息得到严格保护,并符合或超过公认的行业惯例, 具体包括国际标准化组织的标准ISO/IEC 27001:2005(信息安全管理系统-要求), ISO-IEC27002:2005(国际安全管理实务守则).  Review Samaritan Technologies Terms of Service.

  • Read the online 志愿者 Handbook
  • 志愿者 Application Form

正规的棋牌平台排行榜志愿者的期望和责任是什么?

作为我们学校的志愿者,你在支持学生方面发挥着至关重要的作用. 以下是我们对志愿者的一些期望,以确保他们有效地支持学生和学校:

  • Be prompt, dependable, and regular in attendance.
  • 支持和补充课堂老师的指导——你应该协助课堂上发生的事情.
  • 与老师、图书管理员或志愿者协调员清楚地沟通出现的任何问题.
  • Notify the teacher, 图书管理员或学校志愿者协调员,如果学生向你倾诉虐待的情况. Staff will do the reporting and follow-up.
  • 尊重学生和学校工作人员的隐私——确保孩子在学校的工作和行为是保密的.
  • Remember that you are acting as a role model for children.

I see that volunteers sometimes need additional background checks.  What does it involve?

在华盛顿州没有连续居住超过三年的志愿者需要通过全国背景调查.

  • 如果您的州身份证未满3年,则需要进行连续居住验证. 学校志愿者协调员将核实驾照上的住址(签发日期), 保险, and utility bill are examples)

另外, 在没有直接工作人员监督的情况下,经常与学生一起工作的志愿者也需要通过国家背景调查, as well as volunteer chaperoning field trips longer than 3 days.

Learn more on our page about volunteer background checks.

How does SPS complete national background checks?

正规的棋牌平台排行榜使用Sterling志愿者提供的“完整罪犯定位搜索”服务. 这个国家级的犯罪背景调查包括以下内容:社会安全号码扫描, the Department of Justice (DOJ) National Sex Offender Registry 搜索, the OFAC Watch List, Nationwide Criminal Scan, and Locator Arrest Records Database.

If an applicant has a criminal history (in or outside 华盛顿 State), SPS人力资源将审查这些记录,并确定志愿者的角色是否与申请人的犯罪历史相符. 例如, 最近的一项交通违规行为将阻止申请人自愿担任实地考察司机,但不允许作为办公室助手. On the other hand, if an applicant was convicted of a violent crime against minors, they would not be eligible to volunteer at SPS at all. 

What training is available for new Seattle Public 学校 volunteers?

每所学校都将为新志愿者提供学校建筑和学校社区的指导, as well as expectations for volunteers.

Are there any ongoing training opportunities for volunteers?

在我们的社区中也有很多资源支持学校和社区组织的志愿导师. One excellent resource is the Seattle Tutoring Coalition, which provides three All-City Tutor Trainings annually.

These workshop-based trainings often include topics such as:
