   VOLUNTEERS 
Start Here! 

Step 1

Volunteers must register with the Family Care Safety Registry (FCSR)

One-time, lifetime fee of $15.25 (paid by the volunteer)

Step 2

Once FCSR online registration is complete, you must submit WSD Volunteer Registration Forms A and B to the school office.

 

Volunteers will need to complete a new registration process as the former process is no longer available to us through the state of Missouri. This process is called the Missouri Family Care Safety Registry (FCSR). It provides a more extensive background check than our Raptor system, and is needed for volunteers who spend more individual time with students than our visitors.

​

The FCSR requires volunteers to complete an online registration process that involves a one-time, lifetime fee of $15.25. It is the responsibility of the volunteer to cover this one-time, lifetime fee. The online registration process can be found at FCSR-BSEES - MO.gov. (NOTE: This registration process CANNOT be completed on a mobile browser/device.)

​

Once the online portion is complete, a paper WSD Volunteer Registration Form A and Form B must be completed and submitted to your child’s school. The forms can be found below or you can click HERE to download the forms. Your approved volunteer status is accessible district-wide; you only need to turn in your forms to one WSD school.  

Please note, the wait time for the FCSR registration to be processed and for the District to be notified can be up to two weeks. We recommend completing this process as early as possible.

 

Family Care Safety Registry  - What is it? 

​

Missouri’s Family Care Safety Registry (FCSR) was established by law to promote family and community safety. The registry helps to protect children, seniors, and people with disabilities. Due to changes at the state level, the FCSR is now being used in place of the Child Abuse and Neglect form to access background information on potential volunteers for the Wentzville School District. 

​

  • The Family Care Safety Registry is a one-time, online registration with a fee of $15.25

  • Registration lasts a lifetime (see directions below if you have registered with FCSR in the past) 

  • The registration and fee will be the responsibility of the volunteer

  • A new WSD Volunteer Registration form will be required each school year to run a current background screening if you would like to participate in volunteer opportunities

Annual WSD Visitor Information

What can a WSD visitor do?

  • Eat lunch with your child

  • Attend a class party

  • Attend assemblies

  • Be a guest speaker

 

Visitors may show up on the day of an event/activity/lunch and check in to our building;  however, part of keeping students and staff safe is knowing who is in our building at all times so we are rolling out a system to allow us to do just that. Starting January 24, 2022, WSD visitors will check in to our building using Raptor, a new visitor management system designed to assist with building security.

​

What does that mean for you?

  • When you arrive in a WSD building as a visitor, you will be asked to scan your ID and complete the management system’s check-in process.

  • Raptor will screen the information against sex offender databases and locally customized lists of banned or potentially threatening individuals, instantly alert school officials to a threatening presence, and maintain a searchable log of all visitors.

  • Once approved, you will get a customized visitor badge to wear while in the building.

​

Thank you for your support as we roll this out and enhance school safety protocols!
