Volunteer Clearance

Steps to becoming a Cleared Volunteer:

1. Pick up a Volunteer Packet at the front desk of Del Lago Academy.
2. Complete the packet and return to the school for signatures.
3. The school will help you make the appointment with District HR personnel.
4. District HR personnel will make the fingerprinting appointment. You will also be given the TB test paperwork to be completed at your convenience.
5. Once the fingerprinting and TB test are cleared, you will be notified. The school is first notified and then the Foundation is notified.

This clearance process takes a few weeks to be finalized.

Here are examples of parent activities for which you need to be cleared: Internship Mentor; Foundation Board; Solar Cup; Drama; and, Clubs.

Participating as a panelist in Presentations of Learning, speaking at Brown Bag lunches, or assisting as an Email Mentor do not require a volunteer clearance.

Concession Volunteers

SELLING BEFORE 4PM ON A SCHOOL DAY

• 2 CLEARED VOLUNTEERS need to run the concession stand.
• Supplies for concessions are generally donated by the parents. The cost of items needs to stay at $1.00 or less.
• Complete Deposit Form at end of sales. Do not include the start-up cash.
• 2 signatures are required on deposit form.
• Place deposit monies and deposit form in tamper evident envelope and seal.
• Place the deposit in the Foundation mailbox located in the concession storage room.
• Return inventory, the cash box and inventory binder to the concession storage room.
• These procedures must be followed for sports teams to have the ability to sell concessions.

The foundation reserves the right to cancel or stop sports concessions if the concession rules are not followed.

Volunteer Drivers

To drive scholars to and/or from any event, you need an additional clearance.

After you are cleared by the District as a volunteer, you will need to complete an additional clearance form for driving. The form can be picked up from the front desk at Del Lago Academy.
