To insure the safety of the children here at Pilgrim Lutheran School we require that all volunteers be finger printed and have a background check before they are allowed to volunteer at the school. Typically we offer a finger printing day near the beginning of the school year. Parents can also get fingerprinted at local police departments and sheriff's offices for a small fee. Once the finger print cards are complete, they can be turned into the office where they will be submitted to the State Police for a background check. Typically this process takes two weeks to complete. A notification by the principal will be sent to the volunteer once the report is returned to the school.

An approved background check is approved for 2 years.
