Volunteer

Please visit the District's Volunteer page for more information about policies, procedures, TB, and forms.

Based on feedback from families and staff, the district is working on improvements to make the volunteer process more efficient and user-friendly.

While our new system is being finalized, we are still welcoming volunteers. For now, anyone interested in helping on campus can do so as a visitor until our updated process launches, tentatively scheduled for mid-September.

We encourage you to take this time to complete your TB assessment so you’ll be ready when the updated system is in place. We will share more details as we get closer to launch. You can learn more about this process by visiting our website.

Thank you for your ongoing support. Our volunteers truly make a difference in the lives of our students.

Pomerado Elementary thanks you for your interest in being an active participant in your child’s educational experience. We love our volunteers because they contribute so much time and energy to our students and staff. Our schools would not be what they are without you.

Each Volunteer type must be approved by the school and District. Volunteers must be cleared to be a Field Trip Chaperone and volunteering in the classroom

TB Testing

The law requires that TB clearance (TB skin test or TB Risk Assessment Questionnaire) be completed by a licensed health care provider.

Here are a few nearby resources where you can obtain TB clearance. There may be a fee or co-pay involved at some locations:

Your primary health care provider
CVS Minute Clinic, 16773 Bernardo Center Dr., Rancho Bernardo, CA 92128 or,
CVS Minute Clinic, 12358 Poway Rd., Poway, CA 92064
Neighborhood Health Clinic, 460 N. Elm St., Escondido, CA 92025, 760-520-8100, Hours: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday: 1:00-4:00, Wednesday: 2:30-4:00

Proof of TB clearance is mandated for volunteers working in public schools. Please submit written TB clearance signed by your health care provider to your school site.

Volunteer Reminders

Individuals will not be allowed to volunteer until notified by the school site that they are cleared to begin.

When you come to volunteer, please sign in and out. All volunteers at each of our school sites are required to sign in at the office and put on a name tag. You must do this each day you volunteer. This helps us identify people on our campus and helps keep our kids safe. Thank you for remembering to do this!
