| FIELD STUDY CHAPERON REQUIREMENTS |

An important part of every Expeditionary Learning school is real-world field experience, and Amana is no exception. Students and teachers are encouraged to investigate the world around them, and that means more field studies than you might see at a traditional school. With those field studies comes a need for chaperons, and we welcome parents to serve in those roles.
Please check with your child's teacher on their specific chaperon needs. There are a limited number of spaces for each field study, so you should let your teacher know early if you are interested in accompanying the class as a chaperon.
For safety reasons, we have a few things we need for you to do before you will be able to accompany your child as a chaperon. Please complete the following steps:
- If you haven't ever done so in the past, please attend a 60 minute Volunteer Orientation (schedule below). If you've done this in the past, then please proceed to steps 2-5.
- Complete Mandated Reporter Training - located at this url: http://bit.ly/1oryFVU
- Complete the Volunteer Safety Info Form, Volunteer Agreement Form, and Mandated Reporter Certification Form - located at this url: http://bit.ly/1PVUgjy
- Submit completed forms to Niki Fox for processing. You can email them to: nfox@amanaacademy.org; or, you can drop them off in person at the front desk.
- Please allow 2 business days after submitting your paperwork before volunteering. The school will notify you if there are any issues with your paperwork.
If you are unsure whether you have completed an orientation in the past, please email Ms. Fox: nfox@amanaacademy.org. Mandated reporter training must be completed annually, and we need new volunteer information forms every year, as well.
Please note that there is an additional step for parents wishing to chaperon an overnight field study. Georgia law requires that all overnight field study chaperons submit to fingerprinting and an FBI background check. All overnight field studies are scheduled for 2nd semester, so it is our recommendation that you wait until 2nd semester to complete this process, since it must be completed annually, and the cost is $51, for which you are responsible.
Thank you for your cooperation in completing the steps necessary to become a field study chaperon.
