Update: We will be offering fingerprinting in the Multipurpose Room for Back to School Night. Please sign up here:

Fingerprinting for volunteering at school - During the Back to School Night, a notary will be on site to fingerprint parents interested in volunteering at the school. Being fingerprinted will allow you to volunteer throughout your child’s tenure at AUSD. Besides chaperoning field trips, this can mean working with small groups without the presence of a teacher or staff member, working 1:1 with a student in the classroom and any other scenario where that parent would be the only adult in the area. If you are not fingerprinted you can still volunteer at school, in the classroom, and during school events but you cannot be in the situations mentioned above. Please see the attached information from the district regarding fingerprinting.
 
Our PTA programs, community events, and the classroom activities cannot be done without the generous support of parents like you. All types of volunteering, whether directly with the kids and school or behind the scenes, helps enrich our students' academic and social experience and is very appreciated!
 
If you would like to be fingerprinted, please sign up for a slot here. Note that there is a cost associated with getting fingerprinted, but the Franklin PTA offers scholarships, no questions asked. Please email ask@franklinpta.org with any questions. The fingerprinting process will take 5-10 min per person.
