Classroom volunteers and chaperones!

Volunteers may elect to do a commercial background check or fingerprinting.  Chaperones for a day trip are only required to undergo the background check.  For an overnight field trip, chaperones must complete a full fingerprint background check and form.

Costs of these Services are:

• Fingerprinting - $61.07  (This has changed from $63.82) (Last the entire time your child is in PGCPS)
• Commercial Background Check ($7.00) - Acceptable forms of payment for background checks only include cash, Visa, Mastercard and money orders. Personal checks are not accepted. (Must be done each school year)
•  Any applicant who requires a "duplicate receipt" of the background check must respond to the Fingerprint Office with proper identification and a $5.00 money order (only). Receipt must be kept on file with your child's school office. 

SAVE TIME - Print out your forms here, fill them out and bring them with you!
