Parent/Gardian Information
The only way we can offer our amazing Wednesday night programming is with a full team of parents each night.
Unless you’ve been assigned as a regular leader/mentor, each family is required to sign up to help 3 nights per semester. If it is absolutely impossible for you to participate, or if you prefer not to be subjected to a background check (see below) please speak to Pastor Amy about how you will help outside of Wednesday nights.
You will be required to sign up for your 6 nights by the start of Wed night programming. More info will be coming soon on how to sign up.
CHILDREN & YOUTH VOLUNTEER POLICY AND BACKGROUND CHECK
Good Shepherd Lutheran Church conducts national criminal background screenings on all employees and all volunteers who work with youth. Good Shepherd is committed to recruiting individuals who do not represent any kind of threat to the well-being of those we serve.
If for any reason a national criminal background screen contains information that may pose a threat to the welfare of anyone, especially our youth, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church will terminate the individual’s work involvement at the church.
I authorize Good Shepherd Lutheran Church to request a national criminal background check based on the following information:
Upon completion of this form, you will receive an email from Ministry Safe within 1-2 days. Ministry Safe is the service we use to conduct background checks. Be sure to check your spam folder. **Your background check will not be complete until you follow the steps from Ministry Safe**
Thank you for keeping our children safe and creating an environment of love and care for all.
Students must be checked out at 7:30pm from the gym. Please list ALL adults, or siblings, who are allowed to sign your student out. IDs will be checked at pickup, so if your list of approved names changes throughout the year, you must let us know.
Towards the beginning of the school year, we'll share a Buzz Book with RiSE families, to help facilitate relationship-building outside of Wednesday nights. This book will include students' first and last names, grade, small group mentor names, parent/guardian name(s), and parent/guardian email address(es).
