Apply to Volunteer


In an effort to safeguard our children, DCPS now requires anyone who wishes to interact with students — whether it is to read a story, help during recess, participate on a field trip, or serve as a substitute teacher — must now fill out a Volunteer Application.

To receive the proper clearance, families must:

  • Complete the DCPS Clearance Application. 
    • Please note the "DCPS/Program POC" on the form is AP Shamayne Coles 
  • Complete a TB Self-Assessment form
  • Complete a fingerprinting check. Fingerprinting locations are conveniently located across the DC Metro area with Saturday appointments available

For follow-up questions, please contact AP Coles in the main office.
