VOLUNTEER BACKGROUND CHECK AUTHORIZATION
In an effort to create a safe environment for your children and our staff, we will require background checks for
our volunteers woriing directly with children. We have instituted this policy in light of what has been happening in
schools across the nation. Working with children includes but is not limited to being a chaperone, driving on field
trips, room moms, or teachers aids. We have the ability to run a background check through a system called
Protect My Ministry. Please return this form to the school office. All forms will be shredded after the background
is checked.
