How can I find out if I am cleared to volunteer with the schools?
Calling the main office of the school where you would like to volunteer; staff are able to verify if individuals are already cleared to volunteer in our schools.
I took the volunteer assessment but I am not sure if I passed; how do I find out?
I want to chaperone for my child's field trip in a few days, but I haven't done my volunteer application. Will I be able to volunteer?
Possibly. It can take up to two weeks for a background check to come back, but at times we are lucky and they come back sooner. Compelte your volunteer application right away and follow up with an email to lathambr@spsdme.org with the date you are hoping to volunteer. Unfortunately, it is not always within our control to expedite, but we make every effort.
