School Volunteer

School Volunteers Needed

Our school is always in need of volunteers.  School volunteers may be assgined to relieve teachers of routine and clerical matters so that they may increase their effectiveness in instruction. In some cases, the volunteers will supplement the teacher’s work through the volunteer’s special resources as determined by the teacher.

ICAGeorgia parents are encouraged to volunteer at least 15 hours each school year.  There are various types of volunteers for parents.  Please see the following for the details.

Security Clearance

For some events, all volunteers, including parents, must go through security clearance. Security clearance application forms are available in the main office. This also applies to chaperones for field trips. Upon completion of application forms, volunteer applicants must do a fingerprint and background check process. The approval may take several weeks. Requests for emergency clearances will not be accepted. Therefore, it is recommended to start the security clearance process as soon as possible if an applicant feels that there may be an opportunity to volunteer at some time throughout the school year. Security clearance is valid for 5 years.

School Volunteer Training (Required for all volunteers)

Prior to volunteering, all volunteers must complete FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, 20 U.S.C. § 1232g; 34 CFR Part 99) training for school volunteers and Mandated Reporter training. The links for both trainings can be found below.  Volunteers are mandated to immediately report suspicions of child abuse and/or neglect to the school’s principal or designee, should they have concerns about a student’s wellbeing.

Upon completion of both trainings, please submit the completion certificate of both trainings to the office (info@internationalcharteracademy.org).
