VOLUNTEER INFO & SIGN UP

“Volunteers do not necessarily have the time;

they have the heart.” — Elizabeth Andrew

Our Sea Stars shine brighter because of our volunteers! Huntington Seacliff PTA organizes a wide variety of programs and activities throughout the school year, and we couldn't do it without the support of our amazing Seacliff community.

Whether you have a little time or a lot, there are plenty of ways to get involved. Volunteering is a wonderful opportunity to meet other families, connect with our school community, and make a difference for our students.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Interested in helping? Complete this Volunteer Interest Google Form and select the activities that interest you.

As events approach, committee chairs will share additional details and sign-up opportunities.

Completing the interest form does not commit you to every activity you select.

IMPORTANT VOLUNTEER INFORMATION

Before You Volunteer

All volunteers must follow Seacliff Elementary and Huntington Beach City School District volunteer requirements.

Check in at the front office. Use the front office buzzer to enter campus. Do not enter through school gates or hold gates open for others.
Sign in and out. Wear your school-issued volunteer badge visibly while on campus.
Complete required documentation. Provide the front office with your valid driver's license or other accepted identification and current TB clearance documentation.
Leave siblings at home. Children who do not attend Seacliff may not accompany volunteers at school or on field trips.

NEW! Additional Volunteer Training Requirements

California's updated volunteer requirements mean that certain volunteers must complete additional training before beginning their assignments.

This includes volunteers whose duties may involve being alone with students, such as room parents, committee chairs working with children, rainy-day volunteers, classroom pull-out helpers, and Executive Board members whose assignments involve students.

Additional training may be required for your volunteer role. Volunteers identified as needing additional clearance must complete the district-assigned Keenan training and quiz. The training takes approximately one hour. We have already identified Executive Board members, committee chairs, room parents, and other classroom volunteers who may need this training.

Not on this list, but think your volunteer duties may qualify? Please contact the front office or for next steps before volunteering.

TB Clearance

California law and HBCSD require applicable school volunteers to have current documentation of negative TB status. A physician may complete a TB risk assessment or provide testing when necessary. TB clearance is generally valid for four years. Please provide the required documentation to the school office before beginning any volunteer assignment requiring clearance.

Food & Classroom Safety

For classroom celebrations and PTA activities, please follow school food and safety procedures.

All food must be nut-free, and no glass containers are allowed.
Wash hands and wear gloves when handling food.
Outside food vendors are not permitted on campus without approval.
Classroom pizza orders must go through HBCSD Food Services, with advance planning and principal approval.

Coordinate with your teacher or event chair before purchasing or bringing food.

Log Your Volunteer Hours

Every hour counts! Please report the time you spend helping with PTA programs, classroom activities, event planning, shopping, preparation, and school events.

These hours help PTA document the incredible support our volunteers provide and support district-level reporting, advocacy, and grant opportunities.
