Visitor and Volunteer Policies and Procedures
Thank you so much for your interest in volunteering at State College Friends School. Volunteers are at the heart of the success of SCFS. We encourage and promote school volunteering to expand and enhance partnership with our school families and the wider community, while also maintaining the safety and security of our students and staff.
All visitors and volunteers are required to enter the school through the main entrance and report to the front desk before entering classrooms or other spaces within the school building or on the school grounds. Visitors will sign in and be given a visitor badge that must be worn at all times while on school grounds. Visitors are required to check out at the end of their visit, return the visitor badge, and exit through the main entrance.
Classroom visits should be arranged with the teacher prior to the scheduled visit. The front office must be notified in advance to coordinate requirements for clearances and health screenings prior to the scheduled visit.
Clearances
- Any volunteers that will be chaperoning a class field trip or school event, or routinely visiting the classroom on an ongoing basis, will need to have up-to-date clearances on file with SCFS.
- If you are seeking to arrange clearances for the purpose of volunteering, please email our Administrative Assistant, Becky Plane, at [email protected].
- If the fees associated with acquiring clearances are cost prohibitive for you, please reach out to the school to arrange an alternative method of payment.
