TBES Volunteer

Thanks for your interest in volunteering. There are many opportunities throughout the year to assist the PTA and TBEF with events that are fun for our children and raise money for our school.

In addition, we welcome volunteers in the classroom, library, and office. Your child's teacher will send home information about volunteering in the classroom. If you'd like to volunteer in the library, please contact bhamilton@powayusd.com or just drop by the library. Even if you only have 20 minutes, please drop in, as every little bit of volunteer time helps. See the library page for hours that the library is open.

We are looking for those interested in assisting in the LRC in both the computer lab and library. You do not need any special computer training for this position. Sign up for a vacant time slot online, either during the time your child’s class is in the LRC or during any other time slot that works for you!

Our teachers have so appreciated all of the help parents have provided in the volunteer office already this year! The valuable work done by volunteers here allows our teachers to continue to serve our kids rather than being bogged down by clerical duties. If you are able to take a slot in the permanent volunteer office schedule, please sign up online!

Lastly, you all know how smoothly morning drop-off runs when we have many smiling volunteers opening doors and assisting children out of the car in a safe and speedy manner. If you have time available to volunteer as a C.D.O. (Car Door Opener), please click the link to sign up. Your kids are welcomed to help you out as Jr. C.D.O.’s! Remember, pull all the way forward.

For questions on any of these volunteer opportunities, contact Rachel Allums at 513-2585 or rachelallums@yahoo.com.

Per PUSD policy, all volunteers who work on campus must have completed a Megan’s Law background check, signed the Code of Conduct and turned into the office documentation of a current cleared TB skin test. TB tests are available from PUSD free of charge to volunteers and are valid for 4 years. Please note that volunteers must have received a Volunteer Verification form from the office before receiving a TB test.

Free TB Testing from the district is available for volunteers. Please see PUSD's TB Clinic Test Schedule. TB tests can also be completed for a fee through your private physician or the San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency. The County of San Diego offers convenient TB testing at the low cost of $8. Please refer to the complete schedule of TB Clinics offered by San Diego County HHSA.

Remember, no matter where you have your TB test done, you need to return 2 days later for the test to be read, and you need to be retested every 4 years.

All volunteers should sign in and out at the Volunteer Office located between room 22 & 23, so we can keep track of who is on campus. We also receive funding based on the number of on-campus volunteer hours, so please be sure to sign in and out and note the time.
