WHEN SIGNING IN EACH AND EVERY TIME TO RECEIVE YOUR NAME BADGE UPON ENTRY TO ALL FACILITIES In a continuing effort to provide safety and security to our students and staff we ask that you complete a School Access Form if you plan to enter a facility in the St. Johns County School District.  This includes if you would like to participate in activities such as birthday parties for your child in their classroom, eating lunch with your child in the cafeteria, field trips, book fairs, field days, as well as readers, tutors, mentors, etc. Any person passing beyond the front office area must show a valid driver's license or state identification card. If you are a one time only visitor you will sign in as a visitor.  All visitors signing in are checked against a national sexual offender database.  If you will be entering a facility more than one time you are required to complete a School Access Form (if you have not previously done so) which will be processed by the School Volunteer Coordinator.  This includes processing through a national sexual offender database and a criminal background check.  All information submitted is kept confidential.  The process can take up to several weeks.  We suggest you complete the form at the beginning of the year and not wait until the week of an event to turn in your information. It can take two - six weeks to process your form..  No exceptions will be made unless you have moved into the district within 30 days of completing the form Once you are approved you will sign in as a volunteer (using your legal first,middle,and last name) after showing your photo identification to the front office personnel.  You will be given a name tag that must be on your person and visible at all times while at the facility. All forms must contain your full legal name including middle name (no nicknames), address, phone, gender, birthdate, and social security number.  Note: if you are a legal citizen of the United States and you do not have a driver's license, scroll down to the bottom of the page for a link with information on state I.D.  You may also go to your local DMV  (Department of Motor Vehicles-4030 Lewis Speedway, St. Augustine, see chart below for phone number).
