We’re excited that you want to volunteer at our school! In order to participate in activities with unsupervised access to students (like field trips), you will be required to complete the following steps.

2. Watch the online video for the Code of Conduct training. This training can be found HERE.
3. Fill out both forms with your information. Turn in both completed forms to Oquirrh Elementary’s main office between 8:30 and 3:45, Monday - Friday.

6. Take the signed Fingerprint Authorization Form and a picture ID with you to your scheduled appointment at the Jordan School District Human Resources Office located at 7387 S. Campus View Drive in West Jordan.

**If you’re planning to participate in a field trip, steps 1-6 must be completed at least two weeks before the field trip date. If they’re not, you won’t be able to participate in the field trip.**
7. Once your background check has been processed and cleared, the Human Resources Office will contact the school secretary. She will contact the teacher, who will then inform you that you’re able to participate in field trips or other activities with unsupervised access to students.
8. If your background check does not clear, the Human Resources Office will contact both you and our principal through a mailed letter to inform you of your volunteer status.
Thank you again for being willing to volunteer with our teachers and students! We look forward to receiving your help at school. Please call us with your questions at 801-565-7474.
