Lake Oswego School District
Background Check
We appreciate your interest in volunteering and/or working with the Lake Oswego School District (LOSD). Everyone must submit a volunteer application before serving in our schools for the safety of children.
Please complete and submit this application facilitated through the secure and confidential Raptor Management System. The LOSD Human Resources department will use the information provided to perform the background check. Once approved, an email will notify you and the school that you may work with our students. Please allow up to three weeks to process your approval.
To complete the application, you will need to submit:
Valid email address, which is necessary for notification of the status of your application.
Information matching your government-issued identification card, including your full legal name.
Social Security number to process a background check; without one it takes longer to ensure the records are for the correct person.
A signed copy of the Lake Oswego School District Policy Acknowledgement Form, which is available on the district website next to the link to this application. Make sure the document you upload is signed -- submitting an unsigned document will result in an automatically denied application.
We offer accommodations for obtaining background checks upon request. Those seeking accommodations should email the LOSD HR department.
Additional Step for Limited Number of Applicants
If you need the additional criminal records check to perform your duties, please email the LOSD HR department directly. State law requires those alone with a child to have a criminal records check done through fingerprinting. To be alone is direct, unsupervised, one-on-one contact with a student: one adult + one student = alone with a student.
