If you are interested in volunteering or chaperoning with any of the schools within OCSU, you will need to do the following:

1. Meet with the school secretary to accomplish required background check authorization form. We will provide you with the required form for the fingerprint appointment.

2. At the appointment with the school secretary, please provide a form of ID and payment for the OCSU Fingerprinting Fee for $11.25 (exact change or check made payable to "OCSU").

3. Attend a fingerprint appointment with the Sheriff Dept or Police Dept to have fingerprinting completed. There is a separate $35.00 fee at the Sheriff’s Office/PD. You will need to provide them with two forms of ID at their appointment.

4. Once the fingerprint appointment is completed with the Sheriff's Department or Police Department, you will need to provide the school secretary with a copy of the receipt for additional processing.
