IMPORTANT: We’re excited to welcome our volunteers back into schools while abiding by the latest state requirements. Washington State law requires that volunteers are to be fully vaccinated by Oct. 18 or obtain a medical or religious exemption. Employees, contractors and substitutes are also included in this requirement.

Effective for the 2021-22 school year, volunteers working onsite at a district facility for periods of 15 minutes or more are required to be vaccinated for COVID-19 or obtain a religious or medical exemption. This requirement does not apply to volunteers who are onsite for shorter periods of 15 minutes or less.

Approved volunteers can email a copy of their vaccination card to the school at which they are approved or apply for a medical or religious exemption. Approved volunteers can begin service as soon as proof of vaccination is received or medical/religious exemption is approved.

Puyallup School District Volunteer Code of Conduct

Communication: You are a role model. Your conversations with students and staff should demonstrate respect for others and avoid language that may be perceived as discriminatory, profane, sexist, or offensive. No student or staff person should ever be treated differently, spoken to disrespectfully or denied services on the basis of race, creed, religion, color, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation-including gender expression or identity, marital status, honorably discharged veteran or military status, or the presence of any sensory, mental, or physical disability. In addition, school personnel or volunteers cannot encourage or promote religious beliefs by class activities, comments or invitations to their place of worship.

Appropriate physical contact: Handshakes, high-fives, an arm around the shoulder or side hug are the only safe and friendly ways to touch a child when you are volunteering. Front hugs should be avoided. Regardless of age, students should never sit on your lap. If a child ever inappropriately touches you, please inform a staff member right away.

Reporting abuse: Physical or sexual abuse or child endangerment is a crime. If a student reveals information relating to a possible abuse, neglect, or harassment situation let the student know that you care and are there to listen but that you are required to pass this information on to a teacher, counselor, or principal who can offer them help. Please report this to a staff member immediately, be assured they will follow up on the information.

Confidentiality: Students in the Puyallup School District have the right to expect that information about them will be kept confidential by all volunteers. Additionally, the U.S. Congress has addressed the privacy-related concerns of educators, parents, and students by enacting the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (known more commonly as “FERPA”). You must refer all questions to the school employees so authorized and indicated to you, typically the student’s teacher or principal. Before you speak, always remember that violating student’s confidentiality isn’t just impolite, it’s against the law.
