We have many opportunities to volunteer including: guest readers, classroom helpers, garden helpers, lunchtime and recess helpers, housekeeping, and hospitality.
Steps to become an approved chaperone or volunteer
Thank you for partnering with us to keep our school and students safe. We ask that all volunteers and chaperones have a valid background check on file through the State of Florida’s VECHS program. Volunteers and chaperones who are required to obtain a background check are those who may work with students in an unsupervised environment or who drive and chaperone on school organized events such as field trips.
A driving record check is also required is you are a parent would like to drive students on a field trip.
Step 1: Complete the Chaperone Agreement Form.
The form is completed only once and kept on file. As part of this agreement, chaperones agree to obtain a background check. These background checks are valid for as long as you stay at The Ecclesial School. The cost for the background check is $46 and is billed through TADS or by dropping off a check to the school.
Step 2: Make an appointment and Go get a background check.
Go to the Field Print Florida website and select the purple button "Schedule an Appointment.”
Sign up for a new account.
Select, “I know my Fieldprint code” and FPEcclesialSchools1799Vol
Schedule an appointment by selecting the day, time, and a convenient location.
When the sign up is complete, print the confirmation page and take it with you to the appointment along with two forms of identification. One of these must be a valid, government issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license.
Visit your selected location at your appointment time. The school is billed directly for this service so no payment is required from you at the time of service. The cost for the background check will be billed through TADS.
Step 3: Driving Record Check for parents and guardians.
In addition to a background check, we require that all drivers submit to a driver record check. Only those cleared by the business office will be permitted to drive students. To complete this form, you will need information from your car insurance policy document. The cost or the driver check is $13 for the first year and $10 for every proceeding year. It will be billed through TADS or parents may pay by check.
