Note: Fingerprints are valid until your last child graduates, but background checks need to be renewed every two years. More details

The CSPES PTO is happy to offer another On-Site Fingerprinting Session for volunteers!

Do you want to get fingerprinted so you can volunteer with ease at CSPES (or any AACPS school) and not have to deal with the hassle to get to Annapolis? 

PTO has scheduled an on-site fingerprinting session at CSPES on Thursday, December 4 from 5-7pm. Please review the available times and select your preferred timeslot.

IMPORTANT NOTES: Fingerprinting costs $61.75 per person; applicants are responsible for covering this fee. The contractor (ScreenID) accepts cash (exact change), money order, or credit card. Please only sign up if you intend to keep your time. There are limited spaces. Only those that have signed up are guaranteed a spot. If you are no longer able to attend please update to ensure that someone else can take advantage of this opportunity.

Prints take ~5-10 minutes per person. Applicants must bring:

• payment

• completed application (PTO will provide via email prior to appointment) 

• ID

(A few) Benefits of being a fingerprinted volunteer:

• Fingerprinted status is good through the end of your youngest student's tenure in an AACPS public school.

• You can chaperone overnight field trips and water-ready activities (e.g., 5th grade drownproofing activity).

• You will satisfy the requirements to host a club at school or volunteer for other activities that involve 1:1 or small group interactions.

• We will need to cancel the fingerprinting session if we do not have enough sign-ups. We will alert registrants if we need to cancel about two days beforehand.

Expiration Note: 

Fingerprints are valid until your last child graduates from AACPS. 

Background Checks (required of ALL volunteers) are separate from Fingerprinting, and will need to be renewed every two years.  Unfortunately, you will not be alerted when it is going to expire, so we recommend putting a future note in your personal calendar to remind yourself to renew it. If you are not sure when yours expires, you can contact ClientServices@screenid.net for details. You can apply for a new one up to 30 days before it expires, otherwise it may create a duplicate. Apply for Background Check
