Volunteering During the 2023-2024 School Year

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for the Anacortes School District! Volunteers require annual clearance. Please follow the steps below.

Step-by-step Guides:

All Volunteers: fill out Raptor volunteer application found here.

We will send a final email to the building administrator and volunteer with an email confirmation that they are ready to begin. This process can take up to a week to complete, so please plan accordingly. Approved volunteer status is effective for one academic year and must be renewed annually.

Frequently Asked Questions

Anacortes School District uses a volunteer and visitor management system called RAPTOR. This system is designed to strengthen safety and security in our schools and streamline the visitor registration sign-in process and volunteer approval process.

RAPTOR pulls information from the district's approved volunteer list. Volunteer Policies and procedures have not changed. (All volunteers undergo a Washington State Patrol background check which is good for two years. The volunteer database is managed and maintained by Anacortes School District). When RAPTOR is implemented at an instructional building, volunteers and visitors will no longer sign in on paper when visiting the school.

Visitors will be asked to show a state-issued identification like a driver's license, or be asked to answer a few questions about their name. Visitor names will be checked against the national sex offender registry. Approved visitors will receive a self-expiring name badge that cannot be reused.

Volunteers will be asked to complete an application on the district's website. The application asks the same questions we have always asked volunteers about their identity and any criminal history.
Approved volunteers will be sent an email that includes an electronic badge. The first time a volunteer signs into the building using RAPTOR, they will be asked to be photographed and staff will print a self-expiring ID badge for use on campus. Please bring government-issued, valid photo identification with you to the school on your next visit.
