Dear Prospective TCS Volunteer,
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Trinity Christian School volunteer To further the security of our TCS students, the School Advisory Committee and The School Board have approved this volunteer packet, which adheres to the State policy HB 7069 guidelines for volunteer background screening. You will be joining a growing group of dedicated parents and grandparents who function in valued positions. You are greatly appreciated.
The typical volunteer offers his/her services during part or all of a day. The hours and days you volunteer will be agreed upon with the staff member with whom you are volunteering. Staff members are generally not able to accommodate volunteers who request to work in their child’s classroom, since it is sometimes distracting for the child. It is required that volunteers sign in and out with the front desk and wear their volunteer badge at all times.
All required application forms must be filled out completely, returned to the Elementary School front office, and processed before volunteering can begin. Submittal of the three forms, as well as the background screening process, may take up to two weeks from the date of submission, so please plan accordingly. We suggest you start the process as soon as possible! This process needs to be completed by each volunteer each school year. Feel free to make copies for spouses, etc. Below is the process to follow. The forms mentioned are attached.
• Complete and sign Trinity Christian School’s Volunteer Application. Include a copy of your current Florida Driver’s License and automobile insurance card. Attached to this application are the Volunteer Guidelines. Please read them carefully.
• Complete and sign the Volunteer Affidavit and the Child Care Attestation of Good Moral Character.
• Complete the Trinity Christian School’s Volunteer Interest Form.
• Complete the Live Scan Background Screening Submission Form (every 5 years, cost $55). TCS is only registered with Statutory Fingerprinting, you must visit their office. We will schedule them to be on our campus the start of each school year. Currently, they only offer services on campus on Saturdays.
• Complete the Release of Information Form (Local Background check, every subsequent year).
The TCS Administration will contact you when all of your paperwork has been approved. You may begin volunteering after notification. Thank you for your willingness to serve!
