Family Participation & Wearing a Volunteer Badge On Site


The success of the PGS relies on dedicated and committed parent educators. To assist in facilitating this success, all families enrolled are encouraged to volunteer. The online application is on the Everett School District’s main website: https://www.everettsd.org/domain/1452

When selecting which position in the application process choose “School Day Volunteers” Club leaders and PTSA Board members please choose “Extended Day Volunteer.” Once you have completed the application and been approved (this takes about 2-3 weeks) you will be eligible to come on campus and volunteer.

Volunteers:


  • Check in and sign in at the PGS Office and put on a volunteer badge before volunteering anywhere on campus.
  • If you have another child/student with you who is not in class – please sign them in too.
  • Please make arrangements with the teacher in advance if you would like to volunteer in the classroom.
  • Wear the volunteer badge at all times.
  • Return the badge to the PGS Office after volunteering and sign out.


Drop off & Pick Up Only:


  • Parents just dropping off students and leaving do not need to get a badge.
  • Parents/Guardians who choose to not fill out a volunteer application will be limited to 10 minutes onsite for drop/pick up, picking up mail, curriculum, etc.



If you have any questions, please contact the Volunteer Department at volunteer@everettsd.org or 425-385-4119.
