Thank you for your interest in becoming a Dividends School Volunteer! The Dividends School Volunteer Program is a district-wide effort that encourages and promotes community involvement in the Seminole County Public Schools (SCPS).
2023-2024 School Year Registration
All Dividend volunteers are required to re-activate their applications each year.
The Dividends volunteer application for the 2023-2024 school year is now available.
Apply Online | Volunteer Guidelines
The SCPS Dividends Volunteer application may be completed from your home or school site. Please bring your government issued ID for every SCPS visit. For your FIRST visit, please check-in at the front desk in order to complete your Volunteer profile. For all following visits, we have dedicated stand-alone computers at each location that allow you to check yourself into the building by scanning the 2D barcode on the back of your license.
Once you have completed your Dividends application, you may receive an approval email from Raptor Technologies. This email may go to your clutter file. If you still have questions about the approval of your completed application, you can call your selected district school. The Community Involvement/Dividends office can assist if needed, 407.320.0185 .
Unable to apply online
If you cannot apply online, paper applications are available at any district school or at the Educational Support Center. You can also email [email protected] and request an electronic copy of the application. If you are applying and need to submit a paper application, you will also need to furnish written documentation: written explanation (include year of incident), arrest record, and final disposition. This paperwork will be submitted to the District Professional Standards Committee. We will inform you of their decision. Please contact the Community Involvement/Dividends office at 407.320.0185 for further questions.
Recently Retired Teachers
For all recently retired from State Administered Retirement Plans, including SCPS, you must meet the definition of your termination completely, up to 12 months, prior to providing any service, paid or unpaid such as volunteering, to any FRS participating employer including SCPS, or risk voiding your retirement. Please contact SCPS Retirement/Payroll for additional information or clarification, 407.320.0498.
