Parent Chaperone Info
As was discussed at the trip info meeting on 9/3/13, any parent who is planning to travel with the choir to Orlando in April is required to complete the mandated criminal record check, child abuse clearance, and FBI fingerprinting paperwork. You must also complete the application and agreement forms and have those with you when you turn in your completed paperwork the Athletics and Activities Office.
Please begin working on this ASAP, as the list of names needs to be submitted to the School Board for approval prior to our departure. The NHSD School Board policy on chaperones is as follows:
POLICY #916: CHAPERONES FOR OVERNIGHT FIELD TRIPS
Please print out and complete the forms below as directed. After receiving your processed papers, please bring the ORIGINAL documents with you to Activities Coordinator Chelle Zimmerman at the high school. Note that the FBI clearance can take up to 6 weeks to be processed. If you have any questions, contact Chelle at 412-318-1438.
We would like to send all of the paperwork to Administration by October 31, 2013 so that the list of names can be approved at the November School Board meeting (6 months prior to the trip).
