  2. Sign in to the visitor/volunteer log book.
  3. Take a visitor/volunteer badge to wear.
  4. At the end of your visit, sign out in the visitor log book and return your visitor/volunteer badge. 
 

Requirements for Volunteering

  • Fingerprinting

In keeping with Newburyport's continued focus on safety, volunteers/parents are required to be fingerprinted in two instances:

  • you are going on a day or overnight field trip and will have direct and unmonitored contact with children; 
  • you are a lunchroom volunteer and will be bringing children out to the playground.

Parents who volunteer in the classroom DO NOT need to be fingerprinted, if there will always be another adult present.

Massachusetts has contracted with MorphoTrust for fingerprinting.  To book an appointment, visit the Massachusetts IdentoGO Website.

Please be aware there is a $35 fee for fingerprinting.  Fingerprinting does not expire.

  • CORI and SORI Check

All volunteers must have an up-to-date CORI & SORI on file if:

CORI's are valid for three years; after that you must reapply.
