First, thanks so much for volunteering at BSE. In an effort to keep the kids safe, all volunteers are required to compete a background check and must wear their BSE photo id when volunteering.
The office staff will be checking for volunteer badges when you come into school to volunteer. If a staff member notices someone in the school without a badge, they will be asked to return to the office.
All background checks and photo ids from last year (2008-09) will carry over to this year (2009-10). Anyone that has an id from 2008-09 is cleared to volunteer. The badge was issued only after the background check was finalized last year.
If you have been issued a badge, you are all set to volunteer.
If you do not have a badge, there are just two things you need to do in order to be eligible to volunteer:
1. complete the background check at beavton.k12.or.us/volunteer
2. have your picture taken so an id badge can be created – just stop in the office at any time between 8.00 – 4.00 daily to get your picture taken
Once the background check has been completed and a picture taken, a photo id will be created. Once the badge is ready, you will be notified via email that you are set to volunteer. Even if you are not a weekly or monthly volunteer and plan on attending a class party or chaperoning a field trip, you must have an id badge (which means you have to complete the background check).
Thanks for your help in keeping BSE a safe place for our kids! Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
