Are you considering volunteering at SASM or within APS?

While encouraging family and community participation, we must consider the safety of every child in the district. State law requires a background check from volunteers before participating in any volunteer activity at any APS school.

There are two categories of volunteers who receive differing levels of background check clearances and badging:

Unsupervised School Volunteers: preferred by SASM as you can be “alone” around campus and with students on field trips, etc. This background is a full FBI Fingerprint clearance initiated only by Mrs. Gallegos. The cost is $44 and the clearance is good for two years.

• Cleared individuals receive an Unsupervised volunteer badge from APS Police.

• If your interested in obtaining this badge, please email Mrs. Gallegos gallegos_pat@aps.edu the following information:

  • Full Name of Volunteer

  • DOB

  • Last 4 SS Number

  • Address

  • Phone Number

  • Email address

OR

Become a Supervised Volunteers. The cost is $14 for two years. These volunteers must always be in line of sight supervision by an APS staff member.
