Description

Press release from Portland Public Schools: December 16, 2021 Portland Public Schools relies on parents and community volunteers to support our schools. Per Oregon's COVID-19 vaccination requirement for teachers and school staff, all in-person volunteers are required to provide proof of vaccination before volunteering in a PPS school or facility. If you are a previously approved volunteer and want to return to volunteering in person, but have NOT provided their COVID-19 vaccination documentation to the district, you will need to reapply by completing the volunteer application available at pps.net/volunteer. Please be sure to review the Volunteer Code of Conduct and Mandatory Training before completing the online volunteer application. Currently, only essential volunteers are permitted to volunteer in PPS schools, as determined by the school administrator, but there may be more opportunities to volunteer in the coming months. Please ensure that your volunteer authorization is up to date by applying now. Volunteers who are not vaccinated against COVID-19 or do not wish to share a copy of their COVID-19 vaccination documentation are limited for now to non-contact volunteer activities and classified as a "Remote Volunteer." For more information on COVID-19 policies and what to expect when volunteering in schools, please refer to the Volunteers In Schools: COVID-19 Standard Operating Procedures. Thank you for your interest and support. Sincerely, Robyn Faraone Director, Strategic Partnerships This press release was produced by Portland Public Schools.
