Volunteer Forms
All adults that wish to volunteer at Ortega (especially as a chaperone on Ortega's driving field trips or in-class volunteer) must go through the Live Scan process for Pacifica School District. You can get Live Scanned at the UPS store in Rockaway Beach (446 Old County Road, Suite 100) by scheduling an appointment here. To see additional Live Scan locations click here. The process can take a few weeks to complete, so it's important to submit the forms as soon as possible.
