Parent Blast - November 15, 2021
Restaurant Night & Volunteers
We are excited to share that we are now ready to welcome visitors back into the building!
Here are the steps that each volunteer needs to take prior to joining us in the building:
- Background check - please submit here
- Fingerprinting - this is required if you will be alone with students at any time, including working with a group in the hallway or walking a student down to the office. Starting March 29th, 2022, all volunteers will need to be fingerprinted due to new mandates. If you are not fingerprinted by this date, your volunteer status will revert back to "pending" until completed.
- Vaccine Survey - this will be emailed to you directly following the background check
