If you are a parent who is looking to volunteer at our school, state regulations require three (3) mandatory clearances that must be completed and submitted to the CCCA office prior to volunteering at Cross Creek Christian Academy.

 

Chaperones

If you would like to be a chaperone for a field trip, please note that all three (3) PA-required Clearances must be on file with the CCCA Office no later than one week (7 days) prior to the date of the field trip. This deadline will allow teachers to view the parental interest and be able to adequately plan chaperone numbers as well as necessary transportation details.

​

New CCCA Families

If you are a new family to CCCA, your clearances must be new or have been completed within the past year. If your Clearances are dated more than 1 year ago, you will need to pull new Clearances before chaperoning or volunteering within the school.

​

Once new or updated Clearances have been completed and submitted to the CCCA Office, they will be valid with CCCA for five (5) years from the date printed on each certificate.

 

All volunteers must have the following clearances.
