Per HCS Board Policy, all volunteers wishing to serve in the school during the regular school day or in support of a school sponsored extracurricular program must be approved by the principal and shall serve under the supervision and direction of the professional personnel of the school to which they are assigned. Any such volunteer having unmonitored contact with children must first be background checked. Principals, Assistant Principals, and Secretaries can access the list of previously screened and approved volunteers in the document 2022-23 Volunteer Request. It is the volunteer's responsibility to have their fingerprints taken and obtain the background check (cost ~$35). The school is then responsible for submitting the form and waiver to HR via hcde.zendesk.com.
