If you have any questions regarding testing, please contact Kim Jovic at: kjovic@perryschools.org.

Volunteer Background Policy Change

Volunteers MUST apply every year.

The system rolls over July 1st of each year. Please remember this system is set up on a school year and not a calendar year, if a parent doesn't apply until the spring for a field trip, they would still have to reapply for a fall field trip because it is a different school year.

You will no longer need to have parents sign the “no change” form.

The background checks that you currently have are no longer valid. They MUST apply through the Raptor system. Do not go under the HR>Departments>Employment Opportuni-ties>Background checks like before.

Volunteers/parents must select each school/location where they want to volunteer. You can only see volunteers/parents that selected your school/location.

Background checks are only $5!! You can use a credit/debit card or pay with a prepaid Visa/MasterCard.

The link is under the Perry Township School Community Resources tab under “ How to Volun-teer”.

Here is the link https://apps.raptortech.com/Apply/MTA2MDplbi1VUw==
