*** THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL AND YOU WILL BE TURNED AWAY FROM VOLUNTEERING***
MCPS has initiated for the 2016-2017 school year mandatory child abuse and neglect training for all volunteers. All volunteers who regularly support schools need to complete the online module, “Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse and Neglect for Volunteers and Contractors,” which is accessed on the MCPS website.
Lunch/recess, field trip, media and classroom volunteers MUST take the training.
Once you have completed the 30 minute module, you will receive a confirmation of completion. We are requesting that you forward this to Mrs. Vincenty in the main office. We encourage all families to take the training in anticipation of your future volunteering at school. This new expectation will help us to ensure that all children are safe. Thank you for your attention to this important request.
