Fingerprinting Information

We are committed to fostering a culture of community at Fort Foote Elementary. We want every parent to feel welcome to visit the school and volunteer for respective events and classroom opportunities. In following the Prince Georges County Public School policy, Volunteers who qualify may elect to do a commercial background check in place of the fingerprinting as per Administrative Procedure 4215 Section G.  Chaperones for day are only required now complete the full fingerprint background check.  For an overnight field trip, chaperones must complete a full fingerprint background check and form.

Once you have secured your fingerprinting and/or Commercial Background Check, you must provide a copy to the Office Secretary and retain a copy for yourself. We encourage parents to go through the Fingerprinting; as it lasts for the duration of your child in the PGCPS system. You do not have to renew each year once you pay this fee.
