Volunteer Instructions

The Volunteer Background Check Request form is now in an electronic format. 

 Volunteers must now fill out their request on-line at:

https://webapps.fcps.net/volunteer/

The form can also be accessed from the web site by going to “Parents and Students” then to “Volunteer Application”.

 The following page will be displayed when the Volunteer connects to the site.  The Volunteer must place a check mark in the “I have read and agree to the terms” box in order to continue with the form.  The volunteer can print out the agreement if they desire.

The Volunteer begins by inputting their social security number and date of birth and then clicking “Submit”.

A blank form will come up to be completed.  If the Volunteer has submitted a Background Check Request form within the last 5 years the program will check for a record.  If there is already a record in the database the Volunteer can update their name, address, e-mail address, telephone information and the School Locations for which they would like to volunteer.

The Volunteer can select as many locations as they would like by placing a check mark in box next to the location name.  Once they have made their selections they click “Submit”.

The Volunteer will receive a “Thank You” notice and their request will be electronically submitted for processing.
