Volunteering

All parents who want to volunteer or attend classroom parties, special daytime school events (like the Book Fair, Immigration Day, and Colonial Day) must submit a new background check for this school year. The volunteer application/background check can be completed at plano.voly.org. 

Background checks are only good through the end of the school year in which they are submitted, so even if a parent completed one in May, they need to re-do one for this year.  The background must be completed and come back clear before a parent can volunteer or attend a special class day/party.

We are encouraging all parents to complete the background check, even if they don’t think they will volunteer this year. That way, if anything changes, they don’t have to wait for the background check to come back, which can take 2-3 business days. We had to turn away a few parents from class parties this year, and I would hate to have to do it again.
