Make a Difference at Samuel Jackman Middle School

Volunteers are an important part of our school community. Whether you're helping in classrooms, assisting during events, supporting field trips, or mentoring students, your time and dedication help make a positive impact on student success.

Thank you for your interest in becoming an Elk Grove Unified School District volunteer. EGUSD requires all volunteers to complete a clearance process before volunteering on campus.

Complete each of the following steps:

✅ Complete the EGUSD Volunteer Application

✅ Read and sign the Volunteer Code of Conduct

✅ Complete the required Public School Works Mandated Reporter Training

✅ Submit your completed application and training certificate to: VolunteerClearance@egusd.net

Once your paperwork has been reviewed, Human Resources will email you instructions to schedule your fingerprint appointment. After your background clearance is approved, both you and your school site will be notified that you are eligible to begin volunteering.
