Volunteers make a difference in their schools and community. Learn about volunteer opportunities in Alpine School District (ASD) and get assistance with the Volunteer Background Clearance process.
Thank you for volunteering your time and talents with the students at Alpine District Schools! We value family and community engagement in schools and believe that volunteer involvement can have a positive impact on a child’s education.
Each school has varying needs, ranging from advocacy/advisory support, instructional support, or support services. Please contact your school directly to find out how you can make a difference.
While encouraging family and community participation, we must consider the safety of every child in the district. State law (53G-11-402) requires fingerprinting and a background check from volunteers before participating in any volunteer activity at any ASD school.
Each volunteer must submit to fingerprinting and an ongoing background check and obtain clearance to be able to volunteer in any capacity in our schools. To schedule an appointment for fingerprinting, please visit www.alpineschools.org/fingerprinting. Once you have been fingerprinted, the clearance process can take up to 7-10 days. Please keep this timeline in mind as you plan volunteer opportunities. This process cannot be expedited. Your clearance will then be recorded and visible to any school in the district. To verify clearance, please contact the school with which you wish to volunteer. Fingerprinting for Alpine District is located at the Alpine District Office, 575 North 100 East, American Fork.
Background clearances are not required for visitors or guests who enter a school for a one-time event. Guests and visitors shall have no unsupervised exposure or contact with students and they must be in the line of sight of an ASD employee at all times. Visitors who exceed two visits each month or visit schools for the intent of supporting district goals should become volunteers and complete a background check and volunteer application.
Example of ways in which schools welcome visitors or guests may include such events as:
guest/resource speakers
one-time appearance for school or classroom event like a literacy day, play or presentation
parents and family members who attend school to eat lunch
visitors for a one-time family involvement activity with their student
parents dropping off items for their student at the school
vendors make a delivery to a school
parent-teacher conferences or student meetings
