School Parties and Activities are just around the corner. Make time now to get your fingerprinting/background check done so you'll be ready to volunteer. It takes approximately two weeks to get your background check completed; if you start now you'll be ready for help at any party or activity.
Every volunteer helping at the school must have a background check completed through the School District Live Scan system. This Background check is free of charge and will carry over to the new school district systems and is valid the entire time you have students in school. You can begin the process and schedule a time by going to https://www.alpineschools.org/o/asd/page/fingerprinting.
