SRVUSD Volunteer Clearance
Adults who wish to volunteer on a school campus, drive and/or chaperone a day and/or overnight field trip and/or athletic event need to apply through the Volunteer Management System (VMS). The VMS is a web-based software application that allows the District and all schools to better track and provide the appropriate level of clearance for school volunteers.
SRVUSD has partnered with Be A Mentor, Inc., to support the on line registration and screening process of school volunteers.
The VMS includes three (3) levels of volunteer clearance and tracking. Please know that the District will NOT be asking parents to incur any of the costs associated with these clearance processes. During the online application process, you will be asked to choose the level or levels of clearance you will need based on your anticipated involvement. You may choose to select one, two or all three levels of clearance.
For families new to IHMS, please be sure to update your profile to include IHMS as one of your volunteer schools.

With 92 percent of teens going online daily and nearly three-quarters of kids age 0–8 using apps, as parents and educators, we want to raise kids to be safe, responsible, and ethical in the digital world. Giving kids a solid understanding of how we expect them to behave -- both online and off -- starts everyone off on the right foot.
SRVUSD has a new digital citizenship website where you can find more information www.digitalsrvusd.net.
Common Sense Media offers parents a number of resources to help you have discussions with your teens as well as learn about the websites and apps they are using. Not sure where to start the conversation with your students? Take a look at Common Sense Media’s tips for talking with your kids about being digital citizens or look at their webpage on frequent parent concerns.
