📣 Calling All Volunteers 👐

There are so many ways to get involved at Washington, including volunteering at our many on-campus events and in the classroom. 

But to volunteer on-campus during the school day, you must be a cleared volunteer, which means you have to be fingerprinted through Live Scan.

Your Live Scan clearance is good for your entire time in the Burlingame School District (BSD) - all the way through 8th Grade at BIS. For those who have been District-cleared volunteers in previous years, you are all set and ready to come to campus.

If you are new to volunteering, becoming a cleared volunteer is easy! To be fingerprinted through Livescan, fill out and bring this Live Scan form to any Live Scan fingerprinting location. You can do Live Scan fingerprinting at either of the UPS stores in Burlingame (the one in the Lunardi’s shopping center on El Camino between Trousdale and Murchison or on Howard Avenue between Park and Primrose), or any of these locations. Bring your completed Live Scan form with you when you are fingerprinted and let them know you are coming from BSD.

Once cleared, your clearance will be sent directly from Live Scan to the District. The District will then pass along your information to the Principal to be added to the official volunteer list at the site. 

Questions about whether your clearance went through can be directed to Washington's school secretary, Alyssa Thompson, either by stopping by the Washington Front Office, by phone  (650) 259-3880, or email (athompson@burlingameschools.org).

Please note: The procedure above only applies to volunteers on campus during the school day. District clearance is NOT required to volunteer at events outside of the school day (such as WamJam or Multicultural Night).
