ACPS values and promotes the active engagement of the community in our schools. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact the building administration at any of our schools to discuss opportunities. We appreciate your willingness to support the schools in our community!

All volunteers and chaperones are required to complete a background check (if a current background check is not already on file). Please contact the Human Resources Office if you have any questions regarding the background check process.

• Staff members are reminded to communicate to chaperones and volunteers that they must complete a background check prior to serving as a chaperone or volunteer.
• There is no charge for the background check.
• Please note, the results of the check can sometimes take several weeks.  Therefore, staff members should communicate to perspective chaperones and/or volunteers that they should complete the background check well in advance of scheduled field trips or activities they wish to chaperone or participate in as a volunteer.
• Individuals should come to the ACPS Human Resources Office to complete background checks. Background checks are required to be updated every 5 years.
