Volunteer Fingerprinting & TB Clearance
The new volunteer process started on December 1st.  ALL volunteers must be fingerprinted and have TB clearance in order to volunteer in the classrooms and events or go on field trips.  A regular volunteer is considered a Category II volunteer.  Anyone that attends events like Character Assemblies or class parties must have a Category I Application.  This process is in place for student safety.  If you have any questions please contact our office.
