More info below!
Parents and guardians who wish to volunteer at Beaubien must be approved in advance by Chicago Public Schools (CPS) central office. Screening approval is needed for volunteering at in-school activities, PTO volunteer events and off-site field trips, just to name a few examples.
➡️Getting approved is easy, it just takes a couple of minutes:
1. Go to: https://chicagopublicschools.civicore.com/index.php?action=userLogin
2. Click: "Complete a Volunteer Application."
3. Choose LEVEL 2 volunteer when prompted (unless you are applying for a Level 1 position, which is a bit more involved)
4. Bring your Driver's License/ID to Ms. Santana in the Main Office, and tell her you would like be a Beaubien volunteer. Her email address is: esantana2@cps.edu
What if I was approved in past years? Am I still approved approved now?
It is important to login to your account at
https://chicagopublicschools.civicore.com/index.php?action=userLogin
1. Choose: "Complete a volunteer application"
2. Choose your language
3. Select: "Current Volunteer."
Follow directions from there.
Once that is complete, you must email Ms. Santana at the Beaubien Main Office for school approval again. Her email address is: esantana2@cps.edu
What is the difference between a Level 1 and Level 2 volunteer?
Note: Most Beaubien field trips require Level 1 volunteer status, most PTO events only require Level 2 status.
