Parents are welcome and encouraged to volunteer their services in the school.  Volunteer opportunities include: PTL events and committees, Kindergarten writing, library assistance, chaperoning class trips and homeroom parent duties.

For those who wish to serve as Volunteers in the Penn-Delco School District, state law now requires the following documents to be completed and submitted to the district prior to volunteering: 

• Pennsylvania Criminal History Record (Act 34)
• Child Abuse History Clearance (Act 151) 
• FBI Federal Criminal History Record check (may be waived if you have been a continuous resident in Pennsylvania for the previous ten years).

In accordance with law, these documents must be updated once every five (5) years in order to continue as a volunteer. Clearances must be less than one year old at the time of submission. Original forms must be brought to the office of the school where you will volunteer, and they will be forwarded to the central administrative offices for processing (Parents volunteering in more than one school need only submit clearances to the district at one location). 

No parent may serve as a trip chaperone, or in any volunteer capacity that involves routine interaction with students, unless they have completed and submitted the 3 required clearance documents. For additional information regarding clearances, please refer to our district website.
