VOLUNTEER INSTRUCTIONS: 2015-2016
Thank you very much for your willingness to volunteer at Bricolage Academy! We rely on
the generosity of parents and community members to help our school run more efficiently.
These procedures and guidelines reflect the visitor/volunteer policies of the Orleans Parish
School Board’s Department of Security. The following procedures are designed to ensure
that all members of our school community are safe.
If you have questions, please contact Andy Lewis at 504-539-4505 x702 or
[email protected] .
Background check policy:
All parents, relatives, and community members who wish to perform volunteer service
within the school during school hours (8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday) must
have an updated NOPD background check on file with the school. Background checks
must be updated every three (3) years.
To obtain a background check:
• Step 1: Obtain a background check from the New Orleans Police
Department. The background check form is attached to this letter. A
background check costs $5 payable by check or money order to the New
Orleans Police Department. The NOPD Records & Identification Division is
located at 715 S. Broad Ave.
•
Step 2: Return your completed background check form to Andy Lewis,
Director of Operations.
Persons not allowed to serve as volunteers:
No person who is a Registered Sex Offender may serve as a volunteer. Persons who are
convicted of a felony must provide the background check form to the school, and the school
will make a determination of eligibility based upon the circumstances of the offense.
Identification requirements:
All visitors to the Bricolage campus—including volunteers—must produce a valid State
photo ID card at the main office. The volunteer’s ID will be scanned against the National
Sex Offender Database. All volunteers must wear a printed Bricolage Academy
visitor’s pass at all times while on campus.
Ongoing eligibility:
A request to volunteer or to continue volunteering will be denied if the volunteer behaves
in any manner that demonstrates he or she is not a good role model or is otherwise
detrimental to the school environment. Examples of such behavior include: swearing,
failing to be dependable, failing to follow the supervisor's instructions, and committing any
criminal act on school grounds or at a school activity, touching a student in a rude or overly
forceful manner, failing to dress in an appropriate manner, being under the influence of
any substance i.e. marijuana, alcohol, illegal drugs, or violating any school rules.
