Our background check for volunteers is changing.  Volunteers will now need to fill out a form from the office and submit to Mr. Rohrer.  The form will be used to run a background check.  The district will pick up the cost for the background check and it will be current for 3 years.  We are appreciative of all that our volunteers do at Miami East!
