This summer, Lake Washington School District’s volunteer application system was transferred to a volunteer system developed by Raptor Technologies, Inc. Raptor is used across the nation in many school districts and is considered the industry leader. 

Information for all current volunteers has been transferred into the new volunteer system. If you are still within your two-year approval window, you do not need to reapply. The renewal window opens 30 days before your expiration date. Volunteers can now renew through the district website instead of logging into Parent Access.

If you are an approved volunteer, you have access to a volunteer portal with Raptor. If you are wondering when your volunteer application expires, you can find this information on your profile. Use your email address for the username and if you don’t already have a password, click “Forgot my Password.” This will help you reset the account password. Your “renewal window” opens thirty days before your application is due to expire and you should receive an email from Raptor reminding you to renew with instructions on how to do so.

Remember, this time of year we receive a large volume of volunteer applications. It can take up to two weeks to process an application.
