Volunteers Rock!

πŸ‘‹ VES Volunteers: Important Background Check Reminder! πŸ‘‹

Thanks for all you do for our students! To ensure everyone's safety, FCPS has a two prong approach to safely welcome volunteers, requiring an annual background check and fingerprinting.

Good news: FCPS covers the cost!
Bad news: You will not be able to volunteer until your background check is approved and you have completed the fingerprinting process.

If you volunteer at VES routinely (library, classroom reading groups, Great Arts, etc.), you'll need to complete a background check for the 2024-2025 school year. Haven't started yet? Email Lauren Brownlee (ldbrownlee@fcps.edu) with your name and email address to get the process rolling. Your badge expires June 30th each year, so don't delay!
