• Volunteers Must Be Approved Through HelpCounter

    Volunteers are community members who are approved for a variety of roles or responsibilities while at their designated time in a school. Volunteers may work with students directly in certain settings.

    Community members who are interested in volunteering in WLWV schools are required to register now through the district’s HelpCounter system. Individuals must pass a background check in order to be approved to volunteer in any West Linn-Wilsonville school. 

    Every prospective volunteer will need to complete this process, even if they have been approved through the HelpCounter system in the past. Due to the large number of volunteer applications we expect to receive, this process could take up to 2-3 weeks. Interested community members are encouraged to submit their application now to expedite the approval process. 

    Proof of Vaccination Required for WLWV Volunteers During 2021-22 School Year

    As part of the volunteer application process, community members must submit proof of vaccination in order to volunteer in West Linn-Wilsonville schools during the 2021-22 school year. Prospective volunteers will upload their proof of vaccination as part of their HelpCounter application process. Vaccination information will be collected by the District’s Human Resources Department and will remain confidential. The district will revisit this requirement for the 2022-23 school year.

    Visitors in WLWV Schools

    Visitors are community members who are on school campuses or in school buildings for a specific one-time event or activity. Visitors are not approved to work directly with students, in classrooms, or in school settings.

    After spring break, schools will begin increasing opportunities for visitors to come on school campuses for one-time events such as assemblies, classroom presentations, school tours, PTA/PTO sponsored or school-sponsored activities.  Visitors are not required to show proof of vaccination.
