Fingerprinting for Volunteers and Chaperones
The Gilford School District welcomes volunteers in our schools.
A fingerprint background check is required in all Gilford schools for individuals, volunteers and chaperones engaged in the following activities:
- classroom volunteers
- chaperones on field trips
- assisting at school activities such as dances, plays and concerts
- volunteer coach
Once a thorough background investigation and criminal records check is complete with no disqualifying records and the volunteer has completed orientation, the volunteer will be issued an identification badge to be worn every time the volunteer works in the school.

Fingerprint clinics are scheduled at the SAU office located at 2 Belknap Mountain Road. A photo ID is required for identification.
The next Volunteer Fingerprint Clinic is scheduled for Tuesday, October 15, 2019 from 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.
The process takes approximately 20 minutes. New sessions start every ten minutes.
Photos will be taken for ID badge.

Anyone who volunteers in the Gilford School District must complete an annual volunteer affidavit.
Volunteers who have already been issued an ID badge and would like a new badge for the 2019-2020 school year need to complete the Volunteer Affidavit and submit to the SAU office.
The form can be printed, completed and submitted to the SAU.
Gilford School District policies JFABD (Admission of Homeless Students), JBAA (Sexual Harassment) and JICK (Bullying and Cyberbullying) must be reviewed annually by all volunteers.
