Examples include classroom helper, book fair volunteer, or cafeteria monitor. Level I screening includes a check against the National Sexual Offenders and Predators list along with other criminal background screening.

Using the list below, select either Level I or Level I & Level II when applying—but everyone must begin with Level One.

Once approved as a Level I volunteer, those seeking Level II clearance can take additional steps. The form to access these steps is emailed to you with your LEVEL I approval.
Application Status - Level II approval will require potential chaperones to be fingerprinted AFTER they are approved for Level I status. The whole process from your initial application, fingerprinting instructions and approval can take up to 10 days. Please plan accordingly if you want to chaperone any school events or trips.
