As part of our ongoing efforts to increase the safety and security of our schools, we will continue to require all visitors and volunteers to be processed through the Raptor Technologies screening system. All non-staff members wishing to access the school building will need to provide a state / government-issued ID at check in. **Volunteers must reapply each school year.**

**Visitors**

Visitors typically do not work with students unsupervised and are not engaging with regular and ongoing volunteer activities. Utilizing a state or government issued ID, all visitors will be screened against the registered sex offender database.

**Volunteers (including field trip chaperones)**

Volunteers are involved on a more regular and ongoing basis and may be alone with students. All volunteers must complete an application and background check that includes a search of the national criminal database, sex offender list, and terrorist watchlist. Once an account has been created and the application has been approved, you will be able to login and review volunteer opportunities at your selected schools. **Apply Now (**[**English**](https://apps.raptortech.com/Apply/NjcwNDplbi1VUw==)**|**[**Spanish**](https://apps.raptortech.com/Apply/NjcwNDplcy1VUw==)**)**

**Volunteer Coaches (Middle and High Schools)**

If you are interested in being a volunteer coach, you will need to contact the athletic director of the school. If a volunteer is needed for a sport, you will be invited to interview with the head coach of the team. Once approved, the athletic director will provide you with a document to upload into the Raptor System. The cost of this background check is $15.00.

All visitors and volunteers must sign in and out at the front office, and an approved badge will be provided for you to wear during your school visit.

Thank you in advance for helping us keep our schools safe!

As we think about the upcoming school year, we continually want to be reflective of our practice and strive to prepare our students to be knowledgeable and inquiring individuals that contribute to our world and desire to be lifelong learners. In order to meet our goals, it is critical that our students collaborate, think deeply, communicate, problem solve, create, innovate, and think analytically. In our ever-changing world, it is imperative that we afford our students access to materials and tools to meet their needs. Sometimes these are different from the traditional school supplies of pencil and paper.

As you know, in the past, each grade level has had a school supply list. We would like to ask that instead of purchasing school supplies for your child for the upcoming school year, you make a monetary donation to Skyview School of STEM. We have researched the cost of supplies and found that $40 per student is the average amount that families spend. With your donation we will cover the cost of school supplies (which we will buy in bulk), and purchase & repair of technology tools to support student achievement at Skyview. In addition to providing supplies for students, the money will be spent on ways to support technology integration and on-line subscriptions (such as Scholastic, Newsela, Powtoons, Glogster, WeVideo, National Geographic, Storyworks and Voki).

When students return to school in August, we ask that you contribute $40 to our school; checks need to be made payable to Skyview School of STEM.
