VOLUNTEERING PROTOCOLS
Greenfield has an active parent community that volunteers in the classroom, for class trips and for Home & School events. In order to volunteer and participate in all these activities, there are now THREE new requirements in addition to the PA State Police clearance and Childline Child Abuse clearance. You must submit to the school office a signed Volunteer Code of Conduct, a Certificate of completion for the Volunteer Orientation, and either the FBI clearance* (*there is a fee for this) or the signed Affirmation that an FBI clearance is not needed in your case.
