Get involved!
-
We invite parents and community members to be active in our schools. We invite you to share your talents with us, during whatever time you can make them available. There are many ways you can get involved!
- Join a PTA or other parent groups
- Volunteer in a classroom or at a school event
- Help out with special events
- Build a partnership between a school and your community organization
By getting involved, you’ll know more about how our schools work. That can help you become a better advocate for your child or your neighbors. It also shows kids how important their education is — to them and everyone around them.
2024-25 Volunteer Guidelines
-
- Volunteers must complete the volunteer application process and pass a background check.
- If the volunteer is experiencing any symptoms of illness, they cannot enter the school facility.
- Masks are not required.
- Before entering the school, visitors must check-in at the school's Welcome Center and be logged-in to Bremerton School District's visitor management system (Raptor) by a staff member.
- Volunteers must wear the Raptor security badge that is provided when they check-in so that it is visible at all times while in the school.
Becoming a volunteer
-
Volunteers play an important role in our schools.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, we encourage you to:
Contact your child's teacher(s) or the volunteer coordinator at the school at which you'd like to volunteer at. See volunteer coordinator's names and contact info for each school below.
Each school's volunteer coordinator should be able to identify volunteer opportunities specific to their school. They can also be on the lookout for tasks that their staff may want volunteers to assist with.
Volunteer Approval Process
-
Volunteer approvals are valid for two years. Volunteers who completed our updated online application process last year are still approved to volunteer this school year.
Volunteers approved prior to the last school year will need to go through our new approval process before they can volunteer. Once we've identified a volunteer opportunity for an individual, we will invite you to apply and will provide step-by-step instructions for this quick and easy online process.
Not sure? You can ask your school's volunteer coordinator (see contacts below!) to check and see if you are an approved volunteer in our Raptor database (this is the same system we use for checking in visitors at our schools).
