Q: Do I need to re-do or update any of my Volunteer Requirements?

A: Possibly. But NOT the difficult or inconvenient ones! See below.

  

LiveScan Fingerprint & Background Check: If you completed LiveScan screening for the Lafayette School District previously, and clearance/completion for this requirement is reflected on your Be A Mentor account, you will NOT need to take any further action for this requirement. LiveScan results are sent directly to the district and remain current automatically. 

 

TB Risk or Test Clearance:  A signed Certificate of Completion for Tuberculosis Risk Assessment or Examination is valid for 4 years. Check the date on the certificate you uploaded to Be A Mentor. If your certificate is dated during last school year, you should be good for another 3 or so years (unless your risk factors change).

 
Other Volunteering Requirement Factors to consider:
If you completed the Volunteer Driver requirements previously (or want to be eligible as a Volunteer Driver for the first time):  

- Proof of Insurance must be uploaded to your Be A Mentor account by you. Most car insurance policy terms are six months or 12 months, so a new Insurance Declarations Page must be uploaded once term expires. This is only a requirement for Volunteer DRIVERS.
- New for the 25-26 school year: the district has added safety and insurance requirements for existing and new volunteer drivers.  In your Be A Mentor account, navigate to "MY REQUIREMENTS" section and select "Questionnaire and Forms 2" to download, complete and upload the new Parent/Guardian Driver Requirements form.  

Q: I think I completed some or all of these requirements previously. Am I cleared to volunteer at LES? 

A: The best way to ensure you are currently eligible for your desired volunteer roles is to log into your Be A Mentor account and check that your dashboard shows a green "Completed" notation next to each listed requirement.

 

 

Q: I am cleared to volunteer at another school in the Lafayette School District. Does that mean I'm cleared at Lafayette Elementary also?  

A: You must select each school individually in your Be A Mentor account.  Select "My Activities" in the left navigation and then click "Add."
