Are you interested in volunteering at Jonas Salk Elementary School?
Whether it’s in your student’s classroom or at a school/PTA event, we LOVE our volunteers!

However, there is a procedure to be able to volunteer on campus and it’s for the safety of all of our students.

To be a volunteer, you must fill out a School Volunteer Application and provide proof of a completed TB test.
You may pick up a form in the school office, the PTA office or download it HERE.

Once completed, turn the form and proof of your TB test to either the office or the PTA office.
You will receive a welcome email once you are approved.

Once you are approved, you will be entered into our volunteer database.  As we receive requests for volunteers for various events, you will receive an email notification.  If you are willing and able to volunteer for that event, simply reply.  If you are not able to volunteer for the event, then just ignore the email.

*Note: If you wish to volunteer in your student’s classroom, once you receive the email notification that you are approved to volunteer, contact the teacher directly to schedule your volunteering.
