Thank you for your interest in volunteering for Silver Falls School District.  We believe that volunteers are an important part of our student and staff success.  To ensure a safe environment for our students, SFSD requires volunteers to follow the steps below.

The current turnaround time on volunteer applications is approximately 12 days. 

If you are planning on attending a scheduled field trip, please take this into consideration.

Please fill out the volunteer background application.  This is a two-sided form.  Please write legibly and answer all the questions.  An incomplete application can delay the process.  Submit your completed application to Volunteer-Background-Check@silverfalls.k12.or.us or you can turn in to the school secretary.

Silver Falls School District currently requires all volunteers to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination or submit a medical or religious exception form.  Please email this to Volunteer-Background-Check@silverfalls.k12.or.us.

All volunteers are now required to complete an online training on Abuse and Sexual Conduct.  Instructions are below:

1. Go to the training site.
2. Click “Register” button.
3. Enter code 093efff6.
4. Create a username and enter your name.
5. Click the “Location” button.  Choose Silver Falls School District as your entity.
