Who is a Visitor?
If you plan to be in the schools to visit your own child, or to attend a scheduled event, but do not intend to volunteer in any specific capacity or to work with students other than your own child, you will be considered a “visitor” and will be expected to follow the school procedures for visitors. A background screening is not required.
The following are also considered visitors and are not required to complete a background screening unless requested by the CHCCS principal or district administration. It is expected that these visitors will be under the supervision of a CHCCS staff member at all times.
- Guest speakers who will visit the school one or two times.
- College students who observe a class one or two times.
- Test proctors.
