Volunteer Clearances for Chaperoning
In order for any parent or guardian to chaperone a field trip, or volunteer at school (like at the scholastic book fair, or help with picture days, or help in the classroom) they must obtain the proper clearances.

Below are the websites where you can apply for your required clearances. Once you obtain your clearances, please email them to me.

 

  • PA Criminal History Check: Visit epatch.pa.gov and click New Record /Check (Volunteers only). There is no cost for volunteers. You will be able to view and print your certificate online immediately in most cases, or within 2-3 weeks in some cases. If your check indicates that there is a criminal record, you will need to submit the full report that is mailed to you before you can begin volunteering.
  • PA Child Abuse Clearance: Visit www.compass.state.pa.us/CWIS. You’ll need to create an account and then log back in in order to submit your application. There is no cost for volunteers. You will be able to view and print your results online within 2-3 days in most cases, or within 2-3 weeks in some cases.
