In order to be a volunteer in Dade County Public Schools, you must now fill out an on-line Volunteer Registration (even if you have had a volunteer number in a previous year). There are several methods in order to complete the online registration process.

(1) If you have successfully logged on to the “Parent Portal” you can click on the Services/Sites tab and then click “Be a School Volunteer!” in the “My Services” section.

(2) If you cannot log into the “Parent Portal” or if your spouse or family member also wants to register as a volunteer, you can use the “Community Portal.” Use the following link: http://myportal.dadeschools.net/community/
This will require you to set up a username and password before you are able to register as a volunteer.

(3) Once you have completed all the information on-line, you must bring a copy of your driver’s license to the school office to complete the registration procedure.

(4) Do you plan to be a volunteer at multiple schools? That question will come up in the on-line process and you will be able to indicate all the schools.

(5) During the online process, there will be a section to indicate what level volunteer you are. If you have already been fingerprinted as a Level 2 Volunteer you will NOT need to be fingerprinted again.

(6) Need to be fingerprinted? Upon approval of the principal, contact (305) 995-7472 for an appointment.

(7) Need to become a Certified Volunteer? Upon approval of the principal, contact (305) 995-2752 for training information.

(8) If you used the Parent Portal, your volunteer number will your login number for the parent portal that starts with a "P". If you used the community portal, it will be your login that starts with a "C".
