Volunteer

Lebanon Public Schools requires a background check for anyone who will be volunteering in the classroom or attending a field trip.

You only need the full fingerprint background check through the Missouri State Highway Patrol if you:

• attend an overnight trip with students, or

• work one-on-one with a student

For most volunteers, the background check is completed online through the Family Care Safety Registry.

Please have the following ready:

• a debit card or credit card
  Accepted cards: AMEX, Discover, Mastercard, or Visa
• your Social Security number
• your date of birth
• any other names you have used, such as a maiden name or alias

Fee: As of August 1, 2024, the processing fee is $15.55. This amount may change.

If your Social Security number is already in the system, do not continue the registration process.
