The Thomas Jefferson Band Needs Your Help

******IF YOU DO NOT HAVE CLEARANCES ON FILE WITH THE TJ BAND PATRONS, YOU MAY NOT CHAPERONE******

Clearance Policy Required for Volunteers

The WJHSD adopted Policy 124 re: clearances for volunteers at the Feb. 26th School Board meeting. Click here to see the new policy. 07 fundraiser forms/clearance policy.pdf

To download the clearance forms, please use this web site:

 http://www.dpw.state.pa.us/PartnersProviders/ChildWelfare/003671038.htm

You may also do the Criminal Background Check Online, with a credit card @ 

http://www.psp.state.pa.us/       

Then choose “criminal history request online. 

The Child Abuse Clearance must be done through the mail, after you have received the Criminal Record Clearance.

If you currently have clearances and wish to know if they are sufficient to volunteer, you must contact the Human Resources Director in the Administration Building. This is a district wide policy, not the TJBP.

You are to keep the original copies of the clearances. Copies will need to be provided to the WJHSD Administration Building, TJHS Principal's office, Band Director & TJBPA. Thank you for complying with this new policy.

Wanted --- old band shoes, t-shirts, gloves

These do not have to be perfect! These would be used "in a pinch" if a band member arrived & realized that they had forgotten one of these items (as they all do at some point)! These items would be available to be used for that game/event only & then returned to the box for the next "forgetful" student to use! If you have any of the above items, please drop off in the band room.
