Volunteer Registration
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can the district use a background check I have with another organization?
Unfortunately, no. When a background check is processed using the district’s code, it allows the district to receive up-to-date criminal history information when an individual is fingerprinted for a criminal offense. Wright City R-II is not authorized to receive those updates through other entities. For privacy reasons, our current licensed personnel are only allowed to access this information for those who have agreed to the program through our district code.
Do I need a background check to attend my student’s class party?
No, in this case, you are a visitor to school during an event and will not be left alone with children.
Do I need a background check to be a field trip chaperone?
Yes. We are in compliance with § 168.133 RSMo 2019 and strive to ensure a safe environment for all of our students.
Do I need to renew my background check?
As long as you submit your volunteer agreement annually, you will not need to submit fingerprints again. However, if you do not submit your annual volunteer agreement then you will need to be fingerprinted again in order to volunteer.
Volunteer Registration Process:
1. Submit your volunteer agreement form
2. Submit your fingerprint privacy notice form. (After your volunteer agreement form is processed, you will receive an email with a link to this form.)
3. Register, schedule and complete fingerprinting. (You will obtain the links and codes in the privacy notice form from the previous step.)
