Orting is home to wonderful parent groups and community organizations that work with our schools and staff to support students.

In Orting, we hold high expectations for all toward a culture of learning and caring, which values diversity, integrity, validation and empathy. We believe this is fostered by promoting a safe, civil, respectful and welcoming environment as a crucial foundation to success across the District. We value and respect the diversity of students, staff, families, and the community, and are committed to an environment that is inclusive and civil. This includes treating others as individuals who have inherent value and worth regardless of background, ability and identity.

If you'd like to volunteer in one or more of our district locations, please complete and turn in the following:

1. Completed Volunteer/Visitor Application form.
2. A copy of your picture identification (will be stapled to your application form)
3. The Volunteer Code of Conduct and Handbook Acknowledgement form from the back of the Volunteer Handbook after it is fully reviewed by you.
4. Completed and submitted Volunteer Release/Hold Harmless Agreement.

Note: Once volunteers are approved, they may volunteer for the remainder of the current and the entire following school year. After that period of time, individuals will need to reapply to continue. Please understand that, in order to prioritize safety, the District reserves the right to conduct all volunteer background checks annually.
