Chaperone & Volunteer Background Check
If you have been approved to chaperone an event, you will need to complete the ICHAT form. Please contact your building's Administrative Assistant for access to the form.
It is necessary for all parents/guardians who will be chaperoning field trips or volunteering in a classroom to provide information for a criminal conviction/background check. This information will be checked through the ICHAT (Internet Criminal History Access Tool) database. Your child's school will be able to access a list of parents that are eligible to act as chaperones and volunteers for that school.
Parents may elect not to be screened. Please note that if you are not screened you will not be able to chaperone or drive any children other than your own on field trips.
Except where disclosure is required by law, the list of approved chaperones and volunteers will be shared only with staff on a 'need to know' basis and will be kept only for the current school year.
Plymouth-Canton Community Schools, in an effort to ensure the safety and security of its students, is continuing our safety procedure for field trip chaperones and volunteers.
