Please print and fill out this form and bring it to the front office if your student needs access to their asthma inhaler. Medication needs to be in its original container. We keep records of all medicinal doses throughout the school year. Each year, parents/guardians are required to provide a renewed form…because kids grow!
Parent Release for the Administration of Medicine
Please print and fill out this form and have your student bring it to the front office if they require access to their medication while on campus. Any medication required during school hours, both over the counter and prescription, requires this form. All medication needs to be in its original container. We keep records of all medicinal doses throughout the school year. Each year, parents/guardians are required to provide a renewed form…because kids grow!
For the safety and well-being of our students, parent or guardian permission is required for any student who plans to walk or bike off campus. Thank you for helping us ensure that every student has a safe and successful experience.
Please take a few minutes a day to tackle sections until you’ve made it all the way through. So many questions we receive throughout the school year are answered right here in this document. There is so much to learn when you begin the new school year, and we offer you this handbook to hopefully ease the transition.
This agreement holds students accountable when they are using school technology, social media, or are online, so they are aware of our behavioral expectations for students of St. Mary School.
Thank you for your willingness to volunteer at St. Mary Parish School!
Our volunteers play an invaluable role in supporting our students, teachers, and school community. To help ensure a safe environment for all children, the Diocese of Sacramento requires that all volunteers complete the clearance process before volunteering on campus or participating in school activities.
Please review the information below and complete each of the required steps.
Volunteer Clearance Requirements
Here is what we need on file in the school office:
- Fingerprints: Fingerprinting (One-Time Requirement): If you have not previously been fingerprinted for St. Mary Parish School, please complete the attached fingerprint authorization form and take it to a Live Scan facility for fingerprinting. The fingerprinting fee is approximately $40 and is only required once. Please allow up to six weeks for the California Department of Justice to process your fingerprints. Important: We are not automatically notified when your fingerprints have been cleared. We receive a report on the first of each month with who has been cleared. If you are planning to volunteer before the first of the month, you will need to contact the Front Office to request a clearance check.
- Safe Haven Training (Required Every Three Years): Be certified by learning from an online tutorial that takes about an hour. Upon finishing, be sure to print your certificate of completion and send it to the front office, as we are not prompted you’ve been certified.
- Mandated Reporter Training (Required Annually): Submit certificate to the Front Office.
- Adult Liability Waiver Form: Complete and sign this form and return to the Front Office.
- Volunteer Agreement: St. Mary Parish School Parents sign this agreement electronically with registration. If you are not a parent, please complete and return to the Front Office.
IF YOU ARE DRIVING (even if you are just driving your own student), you need ALL of the above AND:
- Driver’s License: Send in a copy of your current driver’s license to the front office.
- Insurance: Send in a copy of your insurance “DECLARATIONS” page, which shows coverage amounts, to the front office. (The Sacramento Diocesan insurance states drivers must have liability limits of $100,000 per person, $300,000 per occurrence, $50,000 property damage, $100,000 uninsured motorists, and minimum medical coverage of $5,000 – please ensure you double-check these amounts are visible on your declaration’s page BEFORE turning it in to the front office.) If you don’t have the required coverage, you can purchase it temporarily.
- Verification of Auto-Insurance: Complete this and bring it to the front office. You will want to bring an updated copy into the office anytime a) there is a change to your insurance, b) you switch providers or c) you purchase a new car. Note that this is not a family form – each individual should fill this out if they want to drive.
LAST NOTE – Remember, many insurance policies expire every six months…lots of things expire every few years! Set reminders to update the school regularly so when you are ready to volunteer, you’re all set!
