  • Assists in activities under DIRECT supervision of a district certificated employee less than four (4) times per year or sixteen (16) total hours per year
  • Assists with chaperoning athletic events with very limited contact with students
  • Assists in one-time activities such as guest speaking, job-shadowing, or chaperoning dances
  • Observes classes through a university-approved program
  • Attends school field trips and has oversight only over their own child
 
 Visitors will check in at the school site with a valid driver’s license or state-issued ID.

A current TB test (tuberculosis) or TB Risk Assessment is required. TB tests/risk assessments are good for 4 years. If you have taken a TB test in the past 4 years, your proof of a negative result is all we require. If you have not taken one, please visit your physician and request a TB test/risk assessment.  This cost is not covered by the District. Department of Justice fingerprint clearance is required if you volunteer. Please have your fingerprints processed at a certified Live Scan facility. Click here to access the Live Scan form needed to take to the Live Scan facility. This is REQUIRED regardless if you have had a Live Scan done for another District. This cost is not covered by the District. If you have had your fingerprints processed for BUSD you DO NOT need to process them again.  
 
Thank you again for supporting our schools!
