Becoming a Volunteer
In order to volunteer for any committee or activity, you must be an approved volunteer through the Gateway School Board. Once you have completed the required application, submit it to Mr. Hoeltje who will then provide it to the district’s Human Resources Department. Once HR confirms that your paperwork is in order, you will be cleared to volunteer. Volunteers are officially approved at each monthly school board meeting (3rd Tuesday of the month).
You must fill out the Volunteer application, and then proceed to get your clearances. You will need to have the clearances BEFORE you begin working so APPLY NOW. EVERYONE SHOULD FILL OUT THE INDEPENDENT VOLUNTEER or COACH/SPONSOR APPLICATION. NO ONE SHOULD FILL OUT THE ASSISTIVE VOLUNTEER APPLICATION. Everyone must apply for clearances and be approved through the School Board.
Clearances/paperwork required to volunteer:
FBI Fingerprint Clearance or FBI Waiver Form (If you have lived in PA for 10 years)
*Effective November 28, 2017 the PDE has changed vendors for FBI fingerprint clearance processing from Cogent to IDEMIA. Registration is required in order to have fingerprints taken. Go to IDEMIA's website; Enter Service Code "1KG6XN"
Tuberculosis Test (dated within 1 year) – Can be completed by your PCP or at any Med-Express or Urgent Care Facility
Specific Questions about Clearances and requirements should be directed to Mrs. Pati Kallenbaugh (pkallenbaugh@gatewayk12.org) in the Gateway Human Resources Department.
