Working in the Classroom or On Campus

What do I need to work on campus or in the classroom?

  1. Annual Volunteer Agreements (Statement of Confidentiality; Affidavit Confirming No Criminal Record; Study Trip Procedures; Health/Illness Agreement; Chaperone Form)
  2. A negative test for tuberculosis within the past 4 years. Certificate must be on file in the school office. If you need to have a skin test completed, we recommend Paramex Screening Services - please visit their website for more information. A TB test must be renewed every four years. Individuals may qualify to complete a TB Risk Assessment Form instead of a TB skin test. This form must be completed by a healthcare provider - please work with your provider to see if this is an option for you.

Field Trip Volunteering

What do I need to CHAPERONE on a field trip?

All of the requirements for volunteering in a classroom/on campus PLUS:

  1. Chaperones must be at least 18 years old and must be cleared through the Department of Justice Live Scan. The Live Scan is a one-time event and is not transferable from other agencies — for as long as your child is enrolled at CCDS or the CCDS Preschool. Please refer to THIS DOCUMENT for more information and to download the Live Scan form
  2. A completed Chaperone Field Trip Participation Form is required per field trip. This will be distributed by your child’s teacher.

What do I need to DRIVE on a field trip?

All of the requirements for being a chaperone PLUS:

  1. Volunteers must be 21 years old or over and possess a valid California Driver’s License.
  2. A complete Annual Volunteer Driver Form, which will include a copy of your driver's license and a copy of your current insurance policy declaration page.
