Visiting & Volunteering
Building Check-In
A Safe Visitor background check is required for anyone who visits our schools, including family members of our students. Background checks through the safe visitor site are good for three years at any school in the district. All other levels will need to be done annually.
If you have filled out a background check in the past for our district and are unsure whether it has expired, please contact us. PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR FULL NAME AND DATE OF BIRTH WHEN INQUIRING.
If your background check has expired or you have never submitted a background check, please visit the appropriate link below to submit one.
(This process takes 3 – 5 business days)
Anti Bullying Training Webinar
The Anti-Bullying training webinar is embedded in the Safe Visitor background check. Electronic acknowledgment is required after viewing in order to proceed with the criminal history application.
