Call for Volunteers
Please consider giving your support to the Hatchett Elementary PTA organization. There are much need of volunteers. To get started, a background check is necessary for the safety of our children. A simple electonic form can be submitted at the following link (Criminal History Authorization for Volunteers and Contract Workers). You can also complete a paper form in the school's Administration Office. Once a form is submitted, it can take up to about 3 weeks for the background check to be completed. Check on the status of your form with the Admin Office. Remember to always sign-in at the Admin Office even when working as a school volunteer.
