Parent Volunteers

Parent Volunteers

In-School or Classroom Volunteers

• Works alone without students (i.e. classroom support, copying, library)
• Works only with groups of students in the presence of school staff
• Must complete the Child Protection paperwork and the Confidentiality form in the SCS office prior to volunteering
• Must check in and out of the office by signing the guest book and picking up a badge

Any volunteer that will be working with students without SCS staff in the room must undergo a Criminal Background Check and be fingerprinted as described below for chaperones.

Chaperones or One-on-One Volunteers

• Will be serving as a chaperone to a group of students off school grounds
• Will be working with a group of or individual student out of the classroom without the direct presence of a staff member

Must go to CSSU offices (Shelburne Town Office complex) to complete both the Criminal Background Check paperwork (fee of $15.25 to CSSU) and  also to fill out the paperwork for the fingerprinting

Must go to the Shelburne Police Department offices to be fingerprinted (fee of $25.00).  

•  This can take place either Mondays 8 - 12 or Thursdays 12 - 3,
         however it is recommended that volunteers call 985-8051 to confirm that the officer will be available.  
• This process usually takes a few days so these steps should be planned at least a week prior to the field trip.   
• A chaperone must check in and out of the office by signing the guest book.

NOTE:  If a chaperone had their fingerprints done during the previous school year their name will be on our “approved chaperone” list in the office.  They will still need to come in to the SCS office prior to any volunteering to complete the Child Protection paperwork and Confidentiality form, but there are no fees involved.
