Pleasanton Unified School District Volunteer Clearance Application

PUSD volunteers are an invaluable resource to our teachers and students. Each year, volunteers enhance the educational experience for students by helping in classrooms, chaperoning field trips, assisting with extra-curricular activities, serving as assistant club advisors, and supporting our programs by transporting our students to & from activities.

The Pleasanton Unified School District Volunteer Program includes several levels of volunteer clearance and tracking. We ask that the level of clearance you choose is based on the volunteer activities that you plan to sign up for during the 2024 - 2025 school year.

Prior to filling out this application, please review the volunteer clearance information on the Volunteers page of the PUSD website to determine whether you should apply to be a Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 volunteer.
