after you have been fingerprinted.

3. Our school district will notify the school when the volunteer has been cleared to start
working with students or driving on trips. It takes at least three weeks.

Thank you so much for your understanding and cooperation in this process. All of us want to
do everything possible to ensure the health and safety of every child in our care.

Please NOTE:

Fingerprinting is only required ONCE from each volunteer and is maintained at the

applicable even if your student changes schools.

Those who drive students on field trips must still submit driver forms, driver’s
license, and insurance information annually.
