How Can You Help?

• Volunteer!  Becoming a volunteer is a win win for all

• Communication is essential.  Be sure to check your child's backpack on a nightly basis.  Look for our bi-monthly newsletters as well as flyers with important information for upcoming parent nights.  Remember our website is an important communication tool.  Email links are available on the website to contact your child's teacher.

• Participation.  Your attendance at PTA meetings, parents' nights, and family-fun nights are important.  This keeps you "in-the-know."

• Visit.  At Tulip Grove we have an "open door policy".  You are welcomed to visit your child's classroom any day.  Just stop by the main office to obtain a visitor's pass.  (Remember you are visiting.  If you would like to meet with the teacher, please schedule an appointment.)

Fingerprinting and Background Check Information For Volunteers

If you would like to volunteer in a classroom or volunteer for a field trip, a background check or fingerprinting is required.

There are two options.  Option one:  you can get a commercial background check, for $8.00  This is good for one year and allows you to volunteer at school and on field trips.  The second option is to get fingerprinted, which will last as long as you volunteer at least once a year.  The fingerprinting costs $66.00.  For more information, see Prince George's County Administrative Procedure, or call the  Fingerprint Office at 301-952-6775.
