Volunteering at Valley

Volunteers

Thanks for your interest in volunteering. There are many opportunities throughout the year to not only assist the teachers in the classroom, but also provide support for our PTA  with events that are fun for our children and raise money for our school. We will begin accepting adult volunteers beginning the third week of school. Please make sure to fill out an application online on the Poway Unified School District Website or pick one up at Valley. You do have to be cleared before you volunteer. https://valley.powayusd.com/apps/pages/volunteer

TB Testing

Due to new regulations from both the state and county, PUSD nurses will no longer be providing TB clearance. If you are due for your screening (once every four years), we are hoping this advance notification will give you ample time over the summer to comply, before the start of the new school year.

The law requires that TB clearance (TB skin test or TB Risk Assessment Questionnaire) be completed by a licensed health care provider.

Here are a few nearby resources where you can obtain TB clearance. There may be a fee or co-pay involved at some locations:

  •    Your primary health care provider
  •    CVS Minute Clinic, 16773 Bernardo Center Dr., Rancho Bernardo, CA 92128 or,
  •    CVS Minute Clinic, 12358 Poway Rd., Poway, CA 92064
  •    Walgreen Clinic, 13390 Poway Rd., Poway, CA 92064
  •    Neighborhood Health Clinic, 460 N. Elm St., Escondido, CA 92025, 760-520-8100, Hours: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday: 1:00-4:00, Wednesday: 2:30-4:00
  •   Public Health Center, 649 West Mission Ave, Suite 2, Escondido, CA 92025, 619-692-5565

Proof of TB clearance is mandated for volunteers working in public schools. Please submit written TB clearance signed by your health care provider to your school site.
