This is a new requirement by Central Office for all volunteers who will have students under their supervision. It is taking up to 1 month to get the fingerprints processed. The parent needs to fill out the form, Mr. Fitzgerald needs to approve it and then the parent takes the approved form to Central Office to get fingerprinted.  (We will send the approved forms home with the student after they are signed by Mr. Fitzgerald.)This process will need to be repeated at the beginning of EVERY school year.   Remind If you haven’t already please sign up for Remind.  On your iPhone or Android phone, open your web browser and go to the following ink: rmd.at/4g78a8 Follow the instructions to sign up for Remind.
