Updated Volunteer Requirements

Rosa Parks is happy to welcome our volunteers back into our school. At this time, volunteers are allowed in the building, but not in the classrooms or shared learning spaces. 


LWSD is following Governor Inslee’s vaccination mandate regarding K-12 volunteers. As of October 18, volunteers in our schools will have to be vaccinated. There are now two ways for volunteers to show proof of vaccination. These will be available until at least Oct. 18: In-person and Remote through Microsoft Teams. Visit this link to learn more.


As a reminder, all volunteers will need to be an approved LWSD volunteer, follow the current masking and physical distancing requirements, and sign in at the school office. 


If you have any questions about your approval status, please contact Chris Robison. If you’ve let your volunteer approval status lapse or you need to apply for the first time, please fill out the online application.
