Parents received an email reminding us of the requirement for field trip chaperones to have background checks (see Utah Code 53G-11-401). We wanted to let everyone know our plan to be in compliance with this policy.
We are purchasing a fingerprinting machine. We anticipate it will take 6-8 weeks to be operational. Once installed, it will be free and convenient for our families going forward.
In the meantime, parents have two options:
- Nebo school district.
- Schedule an appointment (801)354-7414, M-Th 1:00 – 2:45 pm
- Download and complete this form: Background Check – Nebo
- Bring government-issued ID
- Pay $20 – this can be considered a donation or is reimbursable if you bring a receipt back to the school
- Draper District Offices Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9 am – 3 pm
- Schedule an appointment SIGN UP HERE!
- Bring government-issued ID
Please direct all questions/concerns to school directors!
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a closer place I can go to fingerprinted?
Yes, you can go to Nebo School District to get fingerprinted. The cost is $20 which we will reimburse once you bring the receipt. You will need to first come to Mrs. Barton’s (Elementary) or Mrs. Peery’s (Secondary) office to fill out the necessary paperwork before you go.
Do I need to schedule an appointment with Mrs. Barton/Mrs. Peery?
No, you do not need to schedule an appointment. If you are able to email a heads up you are coming I can make sure I am available.
Do I need to schedule an appointment with Nebo?
Yes, you need to call Nebo and schedule an appointment (801) 354-7414 . Fingerprinting appointments are scheduled Monday-Thursday from 1:00 – 2:45 pm. Please do not bring small children.
What do I need to bring with me to the appointment?
You will need your ID, $20 and the paperwork from Mrs. Barton/Mrs. Peery. You will need to come into the office to fill it out. It cannot be emailed. You do not need to make an appointment to fill out the paperwork. Just show up anytime you can!
If I already have my background check completed through another district/Nebo, through concealed carry or my own job; do I still need to have it done?
Yes. We cannot access anyone’s background check. When your information is sent in and the request is made, it gets coded to our school and sent back to us under a certain code. Background and fingerprint information is not just shared.
I just trained to be a sub, do I need to get re-fingerprinted?
No. You are considered an active employee so your fingerprint/background check is complete.
Who is the best person to talk to with any questions?
School Directors need to be the first person to go to with any questions. Mrs. Barton, Mrs. Short, Mrs. Peery or Mrs. Elmer. Teachers are wonderful resources for many things but we are not putting this on their plate to help with. If a question gets asked to the homeroom teacher it will just be forwarded on to a director.
If I just plan on volunteering at the school, do I have to go through this process?
No. You only need to have this done if you plan on being in charge of a group of kids without an employee present (field trips, some culminating activities etc).
