VOLUNTEER BACKGROUND CHECKS

All adults wishing to volunteer in the classrooms or buildings, on field trips, for class parties, at sports practices or sporting events, as reading buddies or anyplace where they may have contact with the children are required by the state to have a background check completed. The district is not allowed to accept background check results from other entities, these checks must be completed by our district.
 

If you have not had a background check completed by the Marshfield school district, please request a Volunteer Background Check packet from any of the district buildings. To have a background check done, the Central Office must have signed copies of the Volunteer Application Form for the current school year, the Volunteer Requirement form and the Confidentiality Agreement. Until all three forms are on file in the Central Office, a background check cannot be requested from the state. There is also a $14.00 fee for the background check.  This can be turned in with the forms and the Central Office will complete the background check or the volunteer can go on the website noted on the front of the volunteer packet and complete the background check on their own, paying by credit or debit card.  If you choose to pay on the website, please be sure to turn in the above referenced forms to any of the district buildings as the background check cannot be considered complete without these forms on file.  Once the background check results have been emailed to the Central Office by Missouri Criminal Records, a process that takes approximately 2 days, a letter will be mailed to you informing you of your approval status. Once a successful background check has been completed, you may begin volunteering for the district at any time.
 

A new background check must be completed every year.  If you have had a background check completed by the Marshfield school district in the past, we must still require that you have a new background check completed again this year.  This is required by state law to assure that our students are protected at all times.  We appreciate your understanding in this process as we try to ensure our students safety while on school-related activities.

We thank you in advance for your interest in volunteering for the Marshfield R-1 School District. If you have any questions concerning the background check process or your results, please contact Jennie Ruth at (417)859-2120.
