Volunteering at BVSD
Thank you for volunteering to work with BVSD. Volunteers help us provide better service to our students and are a very important part of the BVSD community.
The safety of all students is our number one priority. Part of keeping students safe is knowing who is in our buildings at all times.
We are excited to introduce our new volunteer management system, Raptor. Raptor will help strengthen campus safety for students and staff, as well as making it easier for family members to volunteer at their child's school. Raptor will also streamline the background checks that are required to volunteer in our schools, saving our family members time and making it more accessible and equitable for them to participate and support their child's education and school.
BVSD Volunteer Application Instructions
We ask that each individual interested in volunteering and interacting with students on a ongoing basis under line of sight supervision by BVSD staff, complete the appropriate Raptor application; ENGLISH or SPANISH. Please note, there is a $32.00 background fee due at the time of submission.
Please note that an active email and a valid social security number* are needed in order to complete the application. If you do not have an email you can create one HERE.
Once you have received email confirmation that your Raptor application has been approved, you are welcome to begin volunteering. Please allow up to 48 hours, upon submission, for approval notification. Approved Raptor background screenings are valid for 12 months, at which time they will need to be renewed.
Thank you for being a part of BVSD, your time and efforts are extremely appreciated.
*Please note - If you do not have a valid social security number please contact Vivian Campbell, HR Manager, at 720-561-5259 or at vivian.campbell@bvsd.org.
Volunteers and field trip chaperones who are not under line of sight supervision are required to complete a CBI Fingerprint Check through a third party vendor, paid by the volunteer/partner/school AND must sign a BVSD Volunteer Agreement (Spanish). Volunteer fingerprints are valid for 5 years, at which time they will need to be renewed.
Please see the Volunteer/Visitor FAQ and the Volunteers/Visitors Flowchart for additional details. Ifyou will be needing a fingerprint background check, please contact Berenice Ramirez at 720-561-5167 or berenice.ramirez@bvsd.org.
