From the Office:

Volunteers/Guest Readers/Chaperones:


Good news - you are now able to check your CORI and fingerprint status in Aspen!  Here are the detailed instructions for how to do this:  How to check CORI/fingerprint status


Remember, any parent/guardian who plans to volunteer in classrooms must have a current CORI on file. To chaperone field trips or help on field day, you must have a current CORI AND Fingerprinting on file. CORI and Fingerprinting are good for all HW schools; CORI is valid for 3 years and fingerprinting for 7. Get them done early so you are not disappointed when it comes time to volunteer in classrooms, chaperone field trips or  help on field day. You can now check in Aspen whether your CORI/Fingerprinting is up to date - see instructions above.
