September 16-20

Sep 16th, 2019 by

Hello again!

We are still looking for a room parent.  Please shoot me an email if you or someone you know (grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.) are willing to help our class out!

Speaking of volunteering, this was in the MMM, but I want to reiterate it here.  ANY volunteers for our class (driving a field trip, helping with class parties, room parent, etc.) need to have background checks.  I am sorry for the late notice, but there is an opportunity to have your fingerprinting done tomorrow at MMA.  I will leave the copied information from the MMM below.  It is HUGELY important that this gets done, because if we don’t have volunteers with fingerprinting and background checks done then we have no one to help us get to field trips, etc.  If you even think there might be a slight possibility that you will drive/chaperone a field trip PLEASE get your fingerprinting done!

volunteer background checks

“Any adult in the building for an hour or more that could possibly be alone with a child needs to have a background check in our system. All official field trip chaperones responsible for supervising children other than their own also need a background check. This is to keep all of our children safe. You do not need a background check for school events such as parent-teacher conferences, concerts, or festivals that happen outside of school hours.There will be someone at MMA to conduct background checks this week on September 17th at 5pm – before the MAPA begins at 6pm. Volunteers will need to make 2 payments at this time – $37 to MMA for processing and $25 to Academica West for doing the live scan. Cash, check, and charge are all accepted.

If you are unavailable on the 17th, you can also visit other locations to complete your background check and fingerprinting process. Check out the paper below to see alternate locations. If you complete your background check outside of MMA, you will need to return the last page of the paper below to MMA as we are required to keep this on file. You will also need to bring the $37 processing fee to MMA as soon as you can. Presenting this paper when getting background checks outside of MMA is very important to make your results show up in the Rapback system and accessible by MMA.

We realize that it can be tough for some of our families to pay for background checks and we don’t want this to be a barrier to volunteering inside school. Please know that once you’re in this new system (Rapback), you will not have to pay or do this again. If you want to know if they’re already in the system or not, please email Ms. Lana.”

Upcoming dates and deadlines:

17 – quilt square DUE

21 – international day of peace

23 – normalization ends

27 – early release (professional development)

 

As always, any questions, comments, concerns email me at lhughes@mariamontessoriacademy.org
