How Do I Sign Up?
You must complete a volunteer background check for the 20152016 school year. Even if you have a clearance at work or filled
one out last year, you must fill one out with the district this year.
Due to the overwhelming number of background checks sent in
every year, Mrs. Brittany Burnette cannot contact you to let you
know if you have been cleared. This is your responsibility.
If you have completed one …
 You will need to see if you have been cleared
 You may pick your day or days on the master calendar
If you have not completed one …
 Complete the background check tonight or send to school with your child
tomorrow
 This will take approxiamtely 2 weeks to process
 You may pick your day or days on the master calendar but make sure to not
pick a day within the next two weeks
Uniform
