Parents/guardians must volunteer 20 hours per year (single-parent households: 10 hours). Hours must be completed before the last day of school for re-enrollment the following year. Please sign in at the main office to receive credit.
​
Volunteer Approval Process
All volunteers must:
-
Complete the online Volunteer Application
-
Present a government ID to the front office for Raptor screening
-
Receive approval before volunteering
​
Per Florida law, all volunteers are screened against the FDLE Sexual Predator/Offender database. Outside agencies providing volunteers must meet the same screening standards and provide proof of insurance.
Additional Information:
NRCA reserves the right to deny or revoke volunteer clearance based on screening results. All volunteer records are kept confidential in accordance with state law.
Volunteer Levels
The "Volunteer Level" provides the minimum guidelines for determining the documentation and background check required. Each volunteer will be assigned to one of the following levels:
Volunteer Level I:
A volunteer who has direct contact with students, within the presence of a school employee or is assigned duties such as an office assistant that may not directly involve students.
Volunteer Level II:
A volunteer who has direct one on one contact with students outside of the presence of a school employee except as noted above.
Minimum Volunteer Level ll Screening Requirements:
Same as Level I (complete an online Volunteer Application, submit government ID to the front office at school, through the Raptor system and receive approval) plus fingerprints.
Volunteers requiring fingerprints must bring an Authorized Fingerprint Form from North River Charter Academy to be fingerprinted. The fingerprints must be submitted to and cleared by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the FBI, and the District before the volunteer is able to serve in a Level II capacity. Fingerprints will need to be retaken every 5 years in order to maintain Level II status. ​
No children under the age of 18 are permitted to accompany a volunteer anytime in the school or during field trips.
