Parent Volunteer

We are grateful for the many volunteers who support our school each year!
If you are a current volunteer or hoping to become one, please be aware that Duval County Public Schools has updated its volunteer background screening policy in our effort to strengthen student safety and be in alignment with state law.  
What has changed?Previously, all volunteers underwent a Level I background screening. As an update, some volunteer roles now require a more comprehensive Level II background screening which includes a fee. 
The Level II screening applies to volunteers who supervises students -- such as field trip chaperones -- and may not always be in direct view of district staff.  
The Level II screening does not apply to volunteers who are always under the direct supervision of district staff and are never alone with students. Examples include classroom helper, book fair volunteer, or cafeteria monitor. 
What do you need to do?● New Volunteers: If you have never volunteered with Duval County Public Schools, complete the Volunteer Application Form. The type of volunteering activities you indicate on the form will determine whether you need to complete Level I or Level II screening. 
● Current Volunteers: If you are a current volunteer in a chaperone role (or any other role where you work with students outside the direct view of staff) you will need to log into your current account and edit your profile to indicate that you are a Level II volunteer. No action is required for current Level I volunteers who are not planning to change to Level II/Chaperone role.
