Science Olympiad School Volunteers

Volunteers are valuable and necessary resource that contribute directly to the success of the Santa Clara County Science Olympiad tournaments. Participating schools are responsible for sending one adult volunteer Event Supervisor (college student or at least 21 years old) per registered team. School volunteers must be available the entire day in which their school is competing. We cannot break assignments into shifts because volunteers will be trained prior to the start of testing and it would be time consuming and disruptive if we institute shift changes.

Please note school volunteers may not sign up to assist with an event in which their child is competing. With this online volunteer signup system, Head Coaches will be able to view their school signup roster to confirm their team volunteers and verify compliance.

Parents and school volunteers are reminded of National Science Olympiad Code of Ethics and Science Olympiad Pledges:

The goal of competition is to give one's best effort while displaying honesty, integrity, and good sportsmanship.

On behalf of the parents and spectators I pledge to be an example for our children by:

• respecting the rules of Science Olympiad,
• encouraging excellence in preparation and investigation,
• supporting independence in design and production of all competition devices,
• and respecting the decisions of event supervisors and judges.

The Online Volunteer Signup System for participating schools will be activated as announced.
