Volunteers: NOW is a great time to complete all paperwork!

If you plan to volunteer at Marbrook (chaperone a field trip, help in the classroom, help at a school event such as the Book Fair etc.) you must complete the State of Delaware process to become an approved volunteer.

There are three documents you need to turn in:

1. Confidentiality Agreement

2. TB Risk Assessment

3. RECEIPT for the $14 online fee for the Child Protection Registry

Documents must be received in the office BEFORE the date of the volunteer opportunity/field trip.

Volunteer approval is good for ONE calendar year. So, if you completed this last November you are cleared through November 2026. Then you must resubmit the three documents. If you are unsure when you expire, you can call the main office at 302-992-5555.

Some parents have expressed trouble with the Child Protection Registry site. We have learned that it is best to do this on a computer versus a phone. That seems to be more successful.

🚩🚩🚩🚩Please note you will only need the Child Protection Registry (background check-$14) to volunteer at Marbrook. You DO NOT need fingerprinting one for the type of volunteering at Marbrook =)
