| Hi Stony Lane Families! We are so grateful for all of the parents and caregivers who volunteer their time to make our school and PTO events so special! As a reminder, anyone who would like to volunteer at school, chaperone field trips or participate in PTO events is required to complete the BCI (Background Criminal Investigation) process. We know that the paperwork and notarizing can feel a little overwhelming, so we want to make the process as easy as possible! To help, we will be offering three BCI sessions where parents can come in, get assistance with completing the necessary forms, and have documents notarized when needed. Our goal is to make this a quick and easy process so that more of our wonderful families can get involved! We are also always looking for notaries and parent volunteers who are willing to help others through the BCI process. If you are a notary or would be willing to lend a hand during one of our sessions, we would love to have you join us! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0F4AA4A62DABF8C43-65134115-stony Whether you are interested in volunteering regularly, helping at a PTO event, or just want to be available when your child’s classroom needs an extra set of hands, we hope you’ll take this opportunity to get your BCI completed. Thank you, as always, for being such an amazing and supportive school community. We truly couldn’t do all that we do without our incredible Stony Lane families! Please see date and times on attached flyer for BCI events With appreciation, Stony Lane PTO |
