Volunteer/Chaperone Requirements

What are the requirements for volunteering?

As of August 2015, PA state law (Act 135) requires volunteers over the age of 18 at PMFS to have three completed clearance checks. These clearances will need to be renewed every 60 months (i.e., 5 years).

Who needs these clearances?

ALL parents who wish to:

• visit classrooms
• act as volunteers on PMFS campus
• chaperone any PMFS-sponsored field trips
• chaperone any PMFS-sponsored overnights
• volunteer on behalf of the PTO food program or in another capacity

Why do I need to start now?

• clearances may take up to a month to process
• teachers want to be able to welcome you into the classroom and share their adventures with you
• some classrooms have class trips during the first days of school and rely on parent participation
• the PTO also relies on parent volunteers to run the school lunch program

What do I do when they arrive?

Please bring originals to the PMFS Main Office so that we can make a copy for our files. For FBI Clearance/Fingerprinting, bring your UEID Number only to the Office.
