Volunteering

Parents and Guardians are children’s first and most effective teachers and are encouraged to become active partners with their children’s teachers!

Livingston Classical Academy relies on parents for active involvement in their child’s education, growth and development. It is the hope of Livingston Classical Academy that all families will devote time to volunteer.

All volunteers must receive an I-CHAT background check in order to work with in the classroom. Livingston Classical Academy reserves the right to “approve” or "deny" any volunteer service upon review of the background check returned. The determination will be based upon the individual's background check information and their fitness to have the responsibility for the safety and well-being of children. Providing false information, or information contradicting to the background check information, is grounds for immediate volunteer service denial.

If you are approved to be a volunteer for the current school year, you will receive and email from LCA stating that you are clear to volunteer and you should retain this email for your records. Please note that volunteer clearance is only good for the school year you apply during, no matter when you fill out the form. A new form will need to be completed each school year.
