Stafford County Public Schools is starting a new process for our observation/student teachers. This procedure will be implemented January 1, 2012. SCPS is requesting that all observation/student teachers fill out and submit in person the Virginia Department of Social Services Child Protective Services form to our HR department; at the time they bring in their CPS form they will be fingerprinted. If the student has a current copy of a TB screening/test they need to bring this with them, too. However, if they have not yet had their TB screening/testing done, then the student needs to make an appointment with the nurse at the school they are doing their observation/teaching at to have a TB screening done, and that screening needs to be sent to the HR department. This procedure will be implemented January 1, 2012 and there is no cost to the student or the university. If you have any student that will be coming to Stafford County Public Schools for the spring semester, please give them the attached forms and instructions, as all procedures have to be done prior to working with students. If you have any questions please call me at 540-658-6624. Thank you, Glenda Breninger, Administrative Assistant Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Education and Support Services Stafford Co.
