Volunteer Process And Procedures
As a means of ensuring the safest environment possible for our students, all parents who might be alone with a student in any capacity (as a volunteer, driver for field trips, etc.) and volunteering their services at school will be required to complete the following requirements which are explained further below: 1) LiveScan fingerprinting; 2) an on-line mini-course on child safety given by “Shield the Vulnerable”; and 3) take a photo at the front desk for the volunteer ID card. Additionally, those parents who will be transporting students on field trips in their private vehicles will be required to submit a Driver Questionnaire form at least two weeks prior to the field trip. Please see Information from the Parent Student Handbook which is included below:

Volunteer Photo ID
Photos are taken at the St. Anne Front Desk. Once the above two steps are completed and fingerprints have cleared, the volunteer will receive their Volunteer Photo ID.
Volunteer Drivers
All parents who wish to be eligible to drive St. Anne School students on field trips, other than their own children, must complete the Driver’s Questionnaire. This is available in this packet, on the St. Anne website, or may be picked up at the Front Desk. You must complete and return the form at least two weeks prior to the field trip with an enlarged copy of your driver’s license (the front desk can make this copy for you). This document is submitted for driving clearance through our liability insurance carrier annually. Upon approval, you will be listed as an authorized driver for field trips for the current school year if you have completed the other requirements listed above (LiveScan fingerprinting, on-line safety education course and photo ID).
VOLUNTEERS WHO MET THE ABOVE VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS LAST YEAR WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO RETAKE THE FINGERPRINT, THE SHIELD THE VULNERABLE ONLINE CLASS OR THE PHOTO ID. The insurance company requires Driver Questionnaire forms annually.
REMEMBER: If you are on campus to volunteer, please comply with the following procedures:
- Sign the Volunteer Sign-In Log at the Front Office and wear a color-coded name badge for that day.
- Wear your Volunteer ID Badge at all times while you are on campus.
- When you are ready to leave, return to the Front Office and sign-out.
Thank you for volunteering. We appreciate you!
