Volunteer information:
Every parent that volunteers in the classroom, and at many of our volunteer based events, needs to have their legal clearances completed and filed with the office before the event.
There is one mandatory self reporting form that needs to be done ANNUALLY.
The Arrest/Conviction Report and Certifcation form. HERE
There are two mandatory clearances that need to be redone every 5 years:
PA Child Abuse Clearance (Volunteers) -Complete online at www.compass.state.pa.us/cwis (No Charge). Follow the steps to create an “Individual Account”. Be sure to indicate that it is for a “Volunteer Clearance” so you are not charged. Print the form generated and submit it to the District.
PA Criminal Background Clearance - Complete the online form at www.epatch.state.pa.us (No charge). Print the form generated and submit to the district office.
A 10 year residency form: HERE
**IF you have not been a resident of PA for the previous consecutive 10 years there is an additional clearance you will need:
4. FBI Criminal History Record Check - This is required only if you have not continuously resided in Pennsylvania for the last 10 years. To get started, please visit this link: www.identogo.com
Registration must be done online and must be done before you go to have your fingerprints done. There is an associated fee that the volunteer is responsible for.
If you have any questions about any of the clearances, please contact the Human Resources Office at 610-286-8600, ext. 1652.
