  • DIGITAL FORM:  Sunnyvale School District utilizes a digital form to approve volunteers.  Each volunteer must submit the digital volunteer form, along with a valid TB test done within the last 4 years.   All volunteers must be approved by our district office BEFORE you are able to start volunteering at Vargas. Volunteer clearance is only valid for the current school year.  You must submit a new Volunteer Form each school year.
