Visiting & Volunteering
Parents/Guardians should request an appointment to meet with an educator, counselor or administrator. Please contact the appropriate person via email or call the main office 301-985-1880 to set up an appointment. Email is recommended.
Any chaperones that are not PGCPS employees must have a fingerprinting background receipt from the PGCPS Fingerprinting Office and copies of the required SafeSchools Training video completion certificates. Parents/Chaperones are required to apply for the Fingerprinting/CPS Background Check in order to chaperone any field trips. The Commercial Background online ony allows parents to volunteer at one time events within the school and it does not allow them to volunteer every day at the school.
The training for volunteers is available online through the SafeSchools training management system. The school should receive a copy of all of the SafeSchools video completion certificates to be filed at the school along with the Fingerprint/Background Check receipt. This must be completed at least 15 business days before the trip.
SafeSchool training videos are available in Spanish and French languages for your convenience.
