Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Lake Oswego School District (LOSD). All volunteers are required to submit a volunteer application before serving in our schools for the safety of children.
Please complete and submit this volunteer 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. You will receive an email once approved to volunteer in LOSD schools. Please allow up to three weeks to process your approval. A valid email address is necessary for notification of the status of your application.
The information entered in the application must match your government-issued identification card, including your full legal name. Using your Social Security number is the preferred way to process a background check because without one it takes longer to ensure the records are for the correct person. Accommodations for obtaining background checks are offered upon request. Volunteers seeking accommodations should email the LOSD HR department.
Per state mandate, all adults in schools during the school day must be vaccinated for COVID-19. In order to complete your volunteer application submission, you are required to upload proof of your COVID-19 vaccination. If you do not have proof of vaccination, you will need to apply for an exemption with LOSD, then return to complete this volunteer application process with proof of exemption. To apply for a COVID-19 vaccination exemption, please email Scott Schinderle, Director of Student Services at: schindes@loswego.k12.or.us
Additional Step for Limited Number of Volunteers
If you need the additional criminal records check to perform your volunteer duties, please email the LOSD HR department directly. A criminal records check, which is done through fingerprinting, is required by law for volunteers who are alone with a child. To be alone is direct, unsupervised, one-on-one contact with a student: one volunteer + one student = alone with a student.
If you have any questions about the volunteer application, please email parkej@loswego.k12.or.us
Sincerely,
John Parke, Safety and Security Administrator, LOSD
