Update to Parent Volunteer Approvals

Parents,

The CPS website is not yet updated with the new guidance. School Leaders attended a law conference this week and were informed of the new updates. Please follow the information that was sent earlier this week.

Thank you,

Principal Shelton
 

New Updates:

Prospective volunteers must register with Family and Community Engagement (FACE) by completing the required CPS volunteer application forms and satisfying the requirements of the applicant review process.

As part of the application process, you will receive an email asking you to complete a background check and submit the report. CPS pays the fee for the background check. Background checks are run annually for returning Level 1 volunteers.

You will also be asked to submit TB test results that are less than two years old. We will provide information about where you can be tested. CPS does not cover the cost of the TB test.

You must submit a copy of your picture ID to the main office or Mrs. Shleotn-  

Volunteers who plan to return for the following school year must notify their school by August 16th- 

Approved Level I returning volunteers do not need to submit new applications annually.
