Classroom Volunteer Form
We hope to eliminate the possibility of parents being turned away due to paperwork processing delays. We are asking that you complete a google form found here as soon as you sign up for volunteering in the classroom, this includes coming into the classroom for Kindergarten Important Person visits.
By completing this form it will allow the Hastings front office staff to check, in advance, that you are cleared to enter the classroom. You may use this same form to enter multiple dates and should complete the form as far in advance as possible. Each date that you plan to volunteer in the classroom must be entered. If you have a date for volunteering already planned, please complete this form without delay.
CORI Form
- Complete the online CORI form found here
- Email the completed form, along with a photo of the front AND back of your drivers license (or other form of photo ID) to Rachel Gauthier in the front office at rgauthier@lexingtonma.org
Vaccination Clearance Form
- Take your CDC vaccination card, along with a government issued photo ID, to the Hastings front office and present it to Rachel Gauthier and, if you haven’t done so already, complete a CORI form.
PLEASE NOTE: CORIs can take as much as 3-4 weeks to process. Please plan and scheduled accordingly.
- Alternatively, you may email a copy of your CDC vaccination card (front and back), along with a copy of your government issued photo ID (if a drivers license or state ID: front and back) to rgauthier@lexingtonma.org
The school will maintain and securely store a list of all volunteers and other volunteer information (e.g. whether they have been cleared or not cleared for the 2021-22 school year, all submitted vaccination documents). No other individuals will have access to these records.
Thank you again for your interest in volunteering at Hastings. If you have any questions please contact Rachel in the front office at rgauthier@lexingtonma.org.
