DCPS has begun requiring that parents who serve as chaperones on field trips, must be cleared through a DCPS volunteer background check. We obviously need Brent families to complete this process as soon as possible so Spring field trips can proceed.
The process is:
1. Complete a Volunteer Clearance Application found at https://octo.quickbase. com/db/bg37a865t?a=nwr&_ fid_274=Volunteer
The process is:
1. Complete a Volunteer Clearance Application found at https://octo.quickbase. com/db/bg37a865t?a=nwr&_ fid_274=Volunteer
2. Submit a negative Tuberculosis (TB) test taken within the last 12 months. TB tests can be done at Medstar at Eastern Market, CVS minute clinics and primary care physician’s offices.
3. You will need to physically report to the Fingerprinting Office to get fingerprinted and you will need to bring your valid TB test results when you come in to avoid any delays. The Fingerprinting Office is located on the 10th floor at 1200 First Street, NE. Operating hours are Monday through Thursday, 8 am to 5pm, and Fridays from 8am to 3pm. Bring a state issued photo identification when reporting for fingerprinting. The following forms of identification are accepted: driver’s license, non-drivers ID, passport, and military ID. Other forms of identification will not be accepted.
Note: Potential volunteers with an active secret or top secret federal security clearance should complete the federal security clearance verification letter in lieu of being fingerprinted with DCPS. The original signed verification form, copy of a state issued photo ID and TB test taken within the last 12 months can be dropped off or mailed to: HR Answers Office— 10th floor at 1200 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20002. If you need additional assistance, please email Denise Diggs at denise.diggs@dc.gov.
