Background Checks for Classroom Visitors

To ensure the safety of all students, any parent who wishes to enter a classroom during the school day (for volunteering, events, birthdays, chaperoning, lunch visits, etc.) must first complete a free background check at the front desk. Please bring a photo ID to complete this process as soon as possible. The background check must be completed 48 hours before your visit. Background checks must be completed every school year.

  • Parents will not be permitted to a classroom during school hours without a completed background check.
  • While in the classroom, parents must remain within the line of sight of teaching staff.
  • Example: To join your student for a birthday, the background check must be completed in advance. Otherwise, staff will deliver items to the classroom.

We appreciate your partnership in keeping our school safe and welcoming for every child.
