SSDS Fingerprinting

SSDS Fingerprinting Policy

Please note: Fingerprinting and background checks do NOT have to be completed every year. Fingerprinting completed after June 30, 2022 has no expiration.

As a parent participatory school, SSDS welcomes all families to play an active role in caring for children alongside our educators. In order to ensure the safety of our students and maintain compliance with Maryland State Law, SSDS requires that all adults supervising or caring for children at SSDS must be fingerprinted and undergo an FBI and MD criminal history background check.

This includes, but may not be limited to adults who will be:

choosing a QUARTER, HALF or FULL In-Class Participation option
volunteering or substituting in the classrooms
assisting the class on field trips and/or driving children on field trips
taking responsibility for SSDS students during school hours or activities

With full respect for the fact that some SSDS family members may not take on such roles, parents may opt out of fingerprinting, with the knowledge that in doing so they will not be able to engage in activities for which fingerprinting is required. Adults who only come to visit the classroom for special occasions such as birthdays or parties do not need to be fingerprinted, but may not take responsibility for any children other than their own during their visit.

I have read and understood the SSDS fingerprinting policy. *

yes

Important to Note

Only parents, legal guardians, siblings, or grandparents may fulfill in-class participation requirements; nannies, extended family members and special friends are encouraged to support the school in other ways.

After the livescan fingerprinting process is completed, the digital results are transmitted to the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) where a background check is initiated. Within 5-10 days, SSDS will receive reports indicating “no criminal history,” “investigation” or “criminal history” on record.
