All SLLIS volunteers, including family members and guardians, must complete an annual background check from the Family Care Safety Registry if they have a desire to volunteer or chaperone SLLIS events. Common volunteer activities include:

• Work with students individually or in small groups under the supervision of the teacher or staff member

• Work inside the school, assisting staff with projects (PTO Officers, etc.)

• Work/organize field day activities

• Be a room parent, organize class parties

• Attend field trips - work with students individually or in small groups under the supervision of the teacher or staff member

Please follow steps below for details about how to go about completing a volunteer background check. Once you are finished with the steps outlined you will need to provide Dr. Graham, Talent Director, with your SSN and DOB so that he can pull the report. You may reach Dr. Graham at anthony.graham@sllis.org or 314-533-0975 x2228. Once you submit the information outlined in the attached document, it usually takes the FCSR between 1-2 weeks to complete the check on their end. 

If you have any questions as you go through this process, please reach out to Dr. Graham.

Preferred Method: Family Care Safety Registry

The benefit of this method is that you pay a one time fee and you do not have to pay in the future. You can register at the link here.

Alternate Method: BackgroundChecks.com

Alternatively we can have you run your information through BackgroundChecks.com linked here.  The results are back within 15 minutes and you should send the PDF report to Dr. Graham- anthony.graham@sllis.org. This would allow you to start volunteering without a delay, but the downfall is that you'd need to pay again to run a report in future years.
