Thank you for expressing interest in volunteering with the PTO at Village Elementary School during the 2024-2025 school year.  We welcome your involvement and are grateful you’ve chosen to volunteer your time, energy, & talents to enrich the student experience at Village! 

Please see below for volunteer clearance information shared by CUSD’s Human Resources department:

“The safety of our children is our highest priority. With that in mind, several years ago the district reviewed the volunteer procedure and determined that it would include a requirement that all volunteers be fingerprinted. While the Raptor System checks local information, fingerprinting ensures that volunteers are both FBI and DOJ cleared. This has become common practice in most districts and the San Diego County Office.  ***If you previously completed a Live Scan for any other entity such as the CTC, San Diego County Office of Education, a professional business license, or another school district in California and/or San Diego, you must complete them again.  You do not need to be printed again if you were previously printed for Coronado Unified School District’s fingerprint database.***

Volunteers working in a classroom, with small groups, on the playground, on field trips, etc., must follow the procedure below:

- All volunteers must complete a volunteer application linked here.

- Please return the completed packet to human.resources@coronadousd.net with your fingerprint technician completed Live Scan form.  Please be sure the documents are clear, and writing is legible.

- You must be fingerprinted and cleared before you can volunteer.  If you feel you have previously submitted Live Scan fingerprints for Coronado Unified School District’s fingerprint database, and you do not show up as cleared on the volunteer list, please email human.resources@coronadousd.net so that we can research it further.

- If you submit your completed fingerprint technician receipt to human.resources@coronadousd.net, the District will reimburse $50 of the cost.

- All volunteers are required to provide proof of a negative TB screening or TB test that is dated within the last four years.”

ALL volunteers, in any capacity, must follow the procedures above.  Please be advised that it takes up to two weeks to be cleared. Please complete this process promptly in order to volunteer at Village Elementary School.  If you have completed the volunteer application in previous years, you do not need to resubmit your application.    

Below is the link to CUSD’s website which contains helpful links to the School Volunteer Application, the Live Scan Fingerprints form, and a list of local, approved Live Scan locations.  The Live Scan Fingerprints form will need to be printed and filled out and brought with you to the Live Scan location.  If you choose to use the Live Scan location at the PostalAnnex in Coronado, please plan to arrive after 10AM, as there will be more staff available at that time to assist customers.

In addition to submitting your completed volunteer application and required documents to CUSD’s Human Resources department (see above link for details), it is recommended that you also email Amanda Ellison amanda.ellison@coronadousd.net to let her know you’ve started the clearance process with the district.  

Should you have any questions regarding the volunteer application process at the district level, please contact the Human Resources team at human.resources@coronadousd.net.  For school specific volunteer questions please contact Amanda Ellison at amanda.ellison@coronadousd.net.  For PTO volunteer inquiries, please reach out to volunteer@villagepto.org.
