Rancho School Volunteers

We are excited to welcome our parent volunteers onto our campus!

To help ensure the safety of our students and staff and to protect our highly regarded instructional programs, TVUSD has identified an application and clearance process for community members that wish to volunteer at or visit a school campus. TVUSD utilizes the Raptor System for visitor and volunteer check-in and verification.

If you were cleared last school year for Volunteering thru the Raptor system then you do not need to complete the Volunteer Application process again unless items have expired (see the front office).

~The application clearance process takes time. Plan accordingly and allow for up to two weeks for processing the volunteer application.

~If you plan to participate in a school field trip (onsite & offsite), volunteer for any class or class/school event during the school day/classroom then your Volunteer Application must be cleared 2 weeks prior to the event.

Volunteers enter through the front office and sign in through the Raptor System, obtain a Raptor sticker and check-in with the front office staff for next steps.

Complete the Application Process steps outlined above and verify completion with the front office.

Please reach out to your child's classroom teacher to express interest in volunteering. The teacher will put together a schedule for volunteers and specific dates/times will be assigned for those interested in volunteering. Each teacher will coordinate their own volunteer schedule and communicate with interested families regarding when they can come to volunteer. Please know there are times throughout the school year when volunteering hours are adjusted due to onsite academic learning.

Volunteers make such a positive impact on our students, our classrooms, and our campus! We are excited to welcome our volunteers back to The Ranch!

No, Volunteers can enter as early as 9:15am into classrooms. Our teachers hold daily morning meetings and those activities are for the classroom community only.

We so appreciate our families and their generous gift of time! We do ask, however, that if you are interested in volunteering at a time that you are not scheduled for that you please email the teacher to see if they are in need of assistance during the time you are considering.

When a volunteer arrives at an unplanned time, the teacher may not have anything prepared for the volunteer to complete and it can be disruptive to instructional time for the teacher to stop instruction in order to quickly prepare something for the parent.

Social and Peer relationship skill development oportunities blossom during playtime to include recessand lunch breaks. Volunteers do not interact with students during lunch/snack recess.

We love kids! Unfortunately, at this time, we can only permit enrolled Rancho Elementary students to be on campus during school hours for health as well as safety reasons. This is a TVUSD policy.

You can schedule a TB test through the district health services department. They can be reached at: healthservices@tvusd.us
