To: Parents, Step-Parents, Grandparents, Relatives, & Friends- who would like to be a volunteer at school or you are thinking about being a chaperon for any of our field trips, we have a new process in effect for this school year.
These recent changes to our district's chaperon and volunteer requirements is in an effort to be as safe as possible regarding those who work/interact with our children.
Please be on the lookout for more information coming home as the school year starts.
In a nutshell...
By the new process, any adult (including parents) participating at school or on a field trip, who will have moments where they are not being directly overseen by a staff member, must go through the background check clearance process.
This would include but not limited to~ working in the hallway with students, moving with a small reading/math group of students to an empty classroom, going to Catalina, the Zoo, Desert Botanical Garden, the Grand Canyon, etc. If you have any anticipation of participating as a volunteer/chaperon, pay close attention to information coming home. I wanted you to know now, so you can be on the lookout and be prepared whereas we will not be able to make any exceptions.
Again, more information will be coming home soon! Thank you!
