If you don't have your clearances yet, start now! There are a few steps to the process but it is not difficult, and they are good for five years.
The school district has information about volunteer clearances here:
Volunteer Support – Family & Community Engagement (philasd.org) Here are the steps they give for completing the district's Volunteer Packet:
1. Read, sign and print the Volunteer Code of Conduct.
2. Submit Child Abuse History Clearance. Print Certificate.
3. Do PA State Criminal History Check. Print Certificate.
4. Sign Volunteer Affirmation if you have lived in the state for the last 10 years. If not you will have to do the FBI clearance and print that.
5. Watch video about volunteering and take quiz. This quiz is very common sense, and you can resubmit answers you get incorrect. You will receive an emailed certificate of quiz completion and should print.
6. Submit all these items together to the main office at Masterman.
Links to all these items are at the district website linked above.
