Safe Environment Clearances

- Safe Environment
  
  Volunteers are the lifeblood of our programs at Saint Andrew, and volunteering is a wonderful way to meet other parents, support our community, and have fun along the way. There are many ways to get involved, whether as a class parent, an event committee member, a Junior Achievement volunteer, or by helping with bulletin boards and special projects. No matter how much time you have, your support is truly appreciated by our students, teachers, and staff.
  All opportunities require up-to-date clearances. When visiting, please sign in at the main office, wear your volunteer badge or lanyard, sign out when leaving, and return your lanyard if applicable. We look forward to welcoming you to school!
