Clearances

Pottsgrove School District Board of School Directors encourages the use of parent and community volunteers to support the educational programs of the School District.

Necessary clearances for visitors and volunteers are available below. Completed clearances should be returned to any of the five district school buildings and then they will be entered into a district-wide shared database. Volunteers only need to complete one set of forms, regardless of the number of children in the District. Clearances must be less than one year old when submitted. Once on file, they are valid for five years.

If you have any questions, please contact your child’s school office who will make every effort to assist you.
