[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 460748, member: 1722"] Our schools don't require a background check for parent/caregiver volunteers. They offer a few "training" sessions at the beginning of the year and stress that a volunteer is always to be under the direct supervision of an teacher/aide/administrator and never alone with the children. There are also a variety of ways to volunteer, if a parent is able and wishes too. I've brought home those Scholastic Books flyers and stapled them and dated them and sent them in the next day with Duckie. I've "glittered" items for the teacher for their class play. I've sent in snacks/paper products for special events. I don't believe parents should be made to volunteer, but please don't think you are locked out of volunteering because you have a day job. There are lots of ways to do, just talk to your child's teacher or PTA officer. [/QUOTE]
