Volunteers
Welcome to Echo Shaw!
We believe in the importance of the parent-teacher team and encourage you to become actively involved in your child’s school. There are many ways to help support your school and your child’s education through volunteering. Please contact me if you have any questions.
If you are an INTEL employee, our school receives matching funds for your volunteer time. Please be sure to note your affiliation when signing in on the Help Desk computer found in our front office.
Thank you for everything you do to support your child and all the students and staff at Echo Shaw Elementary!
Background Checks
Annual background checks are required for all volunteers in the Forest Grove School District. This includes, but is not limited to, classroom volunteers and field trip chaperones.
The volunteer background checks are part of our efforts to keep schools safe for students, staff and visitors. We encourage all prospective volunteers to go to the link below to fill out the criminal background verification form online. There is no cost to the volunteer, and all information provided remains confidential. Individuals will not be permitted to volunteer until their background check has been approved.
The conviction of a crime does not automatically disqualify a person from volunteering in a school. Each situation is considered individually.
