How to Become A Volunteer
Throughout the school year there will be plenty of opportunities to get involved. Parents and guardians are encouraged to volunteer. However, safety and security is a top priority.
Please see information and links below on how to become a volunteer!
Option 1 (Recommended)
Volunteer packet with LIVESCAN FORM (fingerprints required) is for volunteers who will be alone with students. (field trips, where they will be alone with children and no staff overseeing them, support with small groups in an area which is not supervised by a staff member, yard duty etc.)
Option 2
Volunteer packet NO LIVESCAN (no fingerprint clearance required) are for all volunteers which will be under supervision by a staff member at all times, for example, small groups within the classroom under teacher supervision, reading in the classroom, any type or volunteering where they will be overseen by staff.

 


Bright Idea on a cork board


Child Nutrition
California has become the first state to pass universal free school meals program for all public school students! Free lunch and breakfast will be offered at all schools. All meals will comply with federal nutrition regulations.
However...
Completing a school meals application is crucial to school funding.
  • For every student who applies and qualifies as a low-income household, the school receives more than $1000 and additional money from state and federal grants. This includes increased funding for after school programs, technology, counseling services, and equipment for school kitchens.
  • Families who qualify as low-income households may also be eligible for free or reduced cost internet, P-EBT food card from the state of California, free or reduced cost summer camps, and more! Your application helps your child and many others.
When applying be sure to select Lynhaven as your school in the drop down. Although online applications are preferred, the front office will have paper applications available.
If you have any questions, please contact the Child Nutrition Services Department at (408) 341-7210 or e-mail us at food [at] campbellusd.org.
