Volunteer Information
In an effort to ensure the safety and security of its students, Wayne-Westland Community Schools is continuing with our safety procedure for field trip chaperones, and volunteers (Literary Corp, Watch Dogs, Coaches, etc.).
It is necessary for all individuals who will be chaperoning field trips or volunteering in a classroom to provide information for a criminal conviction/background check. All volunteers must complete the Wayne-Westland Community Schools Criminal History Consent Form for School Volunteer Application. This form must be completely filled out and signed by the volunteer, the administrator must sign this form, and a clear copy of the driver's license must be attached. If you have more than one child in the district, a single ICHAT request is sufficient; please list all of the schools where you will be chaperoning / volunteering at the top of the volunteer application. The form will be sent to the Human Resources and Operations office and checked through the ICHAT (Internet Criminal History Access Tool) database.
