FIRST THINGS FIRST: BACKGROUND CHECK
Student and school safety is of utmost concern here at Goodwater. For the safety of all students, every non-staff person must complete the Raptor background check each school year, prior to volunteering or being on campus. It takes less than five minutes to complete and is very easy to follow. Please note that there is a cost of $5 incurred per individual and your approval is only valid through the end of the school year (May).
​
Important note: Anyone who plans to be on campus during school hours (not just to volunteer but to be given admissions to campus) must have a background check completed.
The Importance of Confidentiality
As a volunteer in our school, you will have the opportunity to work with different students and be exposed to a variety of situations. We believe that confidentiality is important and extends to the privacy of all students. This means that we do not discuss any students with others outside of the classroom. Please be mindful of what you share outside of the school environment. The Golden Rule is a great guide here: we would not want our own students to be discussed publicly, so we should not discuss any other students publicly either.
Should problems arise regarding confidentiality, a Goodwater administrator may request a private meeting or revoke a volunteer's right to participate. Thanks for helping us maintain our students' confidentiality!
