Volunteer and Visitor Procedures

All Yellow Springs Schools volunteers are required to complete an FBI background check at the expense of the Board of Education.

To request a background check:

1. Visit the Board Office at 201 S. Walnut Street to complete a request form.
2. Schedule your appointment with Greene County ESC on E. Enon Road, next to the high school. (By appointments only)
3. At the time of your appointment, present your driver's license and the request form from step 1.

The district must have a record of a clean FBI background check before an individual can volunteer with Yellow Springs Schools. 

Examples (not all-inclusive):

• Field trip chaperones

• Helping in classroom/library/workroom during the school day

• Working at Field Day/ Book Fair

• Volunteers at after-school clubs

• Volunteers at practices or events (e.g. costumes or set construction)

• Guest instructors for sectionals without staff present

• Outside accompanists for choir concerts, and solo and ensemble events

Upon receipt of a clean FBI background check, and board approval, the individual will be put on the approved Yellow Springs Schools volunteer list until such time that the Volunteer’s background check expires. 

If you have questions, please contact the Board Office at 937.767.7381.

All visitors to the school building during school hours are required to enter via the main entrance and sign-in at the office. Visitors must sign in using the district’s visitor management program. The visitor must present a picture identification (ID) and indicate the purpose of the visit. Once the visitor status has been verified through our visitor management program, the visitor will be permitted to enter the building with the appropriate staff member or check-out their student.  (Please note: Items dropped off for students will be deposited in the office for delivery to the student.)

Please Remember:

• A valid ID must be presented to check-out students.
• All visitors must show a valid ID and will be issued a visitor badge  that must be worn at all times during the visit.
• School employees who are expecting a visitor must notify the main office staff ahead of the visit.
