We run on volunteers, and there are many opportunities at DES this year! 

Background check/fingerprinting

All volunteers are required to complete a Commercial Background Check or Fingerprint Supported Background Check through AACPS. More information is available on the AACPS website. 

Anne Arundel County Public Schools Fingerprint Office will be at DES on Tuesday, September 30 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Please sign up for a time to get fingerprinted. The cost for a fingerprint-supported background check is $61.75 (exact cash or credit card is accepted) and the background check will last your child's entire school career with AACPS. 

TEACHERS ELVES

Do you have some time to spare during the day to make copies, laminate, and complete other tasks for teachers? Sign up to be a part of the teachers elves program! Help is needed every day of the week so make sure you toggle between the different tabs to find days that work with your schedule! Reach out to Laura Bryer with any questions!
