Volunteers are an important part of the WE in the District’s goal of WE empower all students to achieve post-high school success. Thank you very much for sharing your valuable time and talents with students and staff!
Volunteer
Thank you very much for your interest in being a volunteer in the Beaverton School District!
With nearly 41,000 students in 53 schools, there are many ways a volunteer can help. Volunteers can help tutor or mentor a student, assist in the library or cafeteria, help with school beautification projects, judge a science fair, help coach a team and much more.
In the District-wide Volunteer Management System (myimpactpage.com), all volunteers need to first complete an application and background check to create a profile in the system. Once a profile is created, volunteers will be able to update personal information, view and sign-up for open volunteer needs, and communicate directly with the school Volunteer Coordinator. Volunteers will be able to use this profile from their first volunteer activity to their last.
When you submit your application, you are also creating an online myimpactpage.com profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
English
- Why does the Beaverton School District require a Volunteer and Background Check Application to volunteer? We believe the safety of our students is of the utmost importance. Our parents and community expect us to ensure anyone who comes in contact with their children is appropriate.
- Why is the District using a system wide Volunteer and Background Check Management System? A comprehensive Volunteer and Background Check Management System will create a streamlined common application, integrated Background Checks with subsequent checks every two years, and more flexible coordination of volunteers at multiple locations. The District is using Better Impact and the volunteer access portal is myvolunteerpage.com.
- What if I have already completed a Background Check somewhere else? You must still complete a Beaverton School District Background Check.
- How will Background Checks be run? The information needed to conduct the Background Check is part of the common application. By submitting the application, you are authorizing the District to conduct the Background Check.

- What should I do if my name changes? Please email johanna_shrout@beaverton.k12.or.us to request a Background Check under your new name. Approval process must be completed with your new name before volunteering.
- Will I be notified when my application and Background Check are cleared? Yes, you will receive an email when your application is received and another when your profile has been activated. Your profile on myvolunteerpage.com will be active as soon as you receive a Welcome email from the school(s) Volunteer Coordinator. After that, you will be able to view and sign up for open volunteer opportunities.
- When will I need to resubmit the Background Check? As part of the application process you will be asked to authorize the District to conduct a criminal history Background Check every two years during your birthday month. Authorization for subsequent checks can be revoked.

You will be asked to bring a confidential criminal background check from the Oregon State Police, at your own expense, to the Beaverton School District’s Public Safety Office.

The Beaverton School District is responsible for the safety and security of all its students and staff and therefore reserves the right of final decision.
- Can I be denied volunteer status even if I have not been convicted of a crime listed on the District website? Yes. BSD reserves the right to exclude any volunteer that it determines would be a potential disturbance to the educational process. Volunteer status can be denied and revoked at anytime by the Beaverton School District.
