Volunteer Requirements

Thank you for your willingness to volunteer in our schools and support our students. Your time, talents, and dedication make a meaningful difference in the educational experience of our children, and we are grateful for your partnership.

The process for becoming a volunteer can take up to 2 weeks to complete. One form is required for each volunteer.

The process consists of:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) Risk Assessment or Negative Test (valid for 4 years)
  • Fingerprinting (must be done with the Winters Joint Unified School District, previous fingerprints will not be accepted)
  • Mandated Reporter Training (new 7/1/2026)

All requested documents should be emailed to asolorio@wintersjusd.org or delivered to the District Office, 909 W. Grant Ave.

Important Update for School Volunteers – Required Mandated Reporter Training

Beginning July 1, 2026, California's SB 848 expands the definition of "mandated reporter" to include school volunteers. As a result, volunteers will be required to complete mandated reporter training now and annually thereafter. Proof of completion will be reviewed by the school district.

This new requirement is part of a broader effort to strengthen student safety by ensuring that volunteers, along with employees, board members, and certain contractors, understand their legal obligation to recognize and report suspected child abuse or neglect.
