Parent Volunteers

Join Our Home + School Team!

We're excited to partner with families to support our students and school community. If you're interested in getting involved—whether it's volunteering at events, helping with fundraising, or sharing your ideas—we’d love to have you on board! 

Northwood Academy Charter School recognizes how critical our partnership with parents is. Our doors are always open and our staff is always available to work with families. We strive to make sure that our students recognize we are a united team-together we have them in our hands. 

Please continue to support your child and our school by joining our Northwood community! Throughout the year, we have many opportunities for parents to volunteer their time, attend school celebrations or participate in a school sponsored event. 

Please contact us anytime you have a question, idea or concern. Together, we are stronger!

Volunteer & Chaperone Policy

To volunteer in any capacity (including chaperoning trips) you must fulfill the following directives, which are part of the Child Protective Law:

The law requires all school employees, contractors and volunteers having direct contact with children obtain clearances (child abuse history clearance and state and federal criminal history checks).

  • For PA Criminal Background checks (no charge): Click Here
  • For Child Abuse Clearance (no charge): Click Here
  • For FBI fingerprinting ($24.20): Click Here or call #1-844-321-2101. The service code you will need is 1KG6Q9.
For assistance, please contact the main office or Ms. Mohamad (amohamad@northwoodcs.org). Clearances submitted within 24 hours of an impending trip will not be processed in time for that individual to chaperone that particular trip. While we encourage everyone to complete clearances, we cannot honor last minute requests. 

Please fill out the form below to sign up.
