Volunteering

Volunteering at CCDS is an excellent way to be involved in the education of your child in a way that also benefits the operation of the school. Volunteers can do a range of work from preparing homework packets to driving on field trips to running stations in the primary grades. Below you will find our volunteer requirements and directions for receiving all volunteer forms.

Working in the Classroom or On Campus

What do I need to work on campus or in the classroom?

  1. A signed Affidavit Confirming No Criminal Record, which certifies that you have not been charged with or convicted of a violent or serious felony crime as defined in CA ED. Code 45222.1
  2. A signed Statement of Confidentiality
  3. Proof of COVID-19 vaccination
  4. A negative test for tuberculosis within the past 4 years. Certificate must be on file in the school office. If you need to have a skin test completed, we recommend Paramex Screening Services - please visit their website for more information. A TB Test must be renewed every four years. Individuals may qualify to complete a TB Risk Assessment Form instead of a TB skin test. This form must be completed by a healthcare provider - please work with your provider to see if this is an option for you.
