Hello!
Volunteers make the world go round! Your participation in our school is what makes so many things possible, especially field trips!
In an effort to ensure the safety of every child in our school, we ask that any and all volunteers get a background check. This is an excerpt from the most recent MMA Montessori Moment:
“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 also need a background check. This is to keep all of our children safe.
There will be someone at MMA to conduct background checks next 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.
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.”
Thank you so much for your understanding and support in ensuring the safety of our precious students. If you have any questions, please contact our Assistant Director, Ms. Lana, at lpas@mariamontessoriacademy.org
