Chaperone Clearances
Hi All,
There are a couple of more forms that the school requires when you turn in your clearances. They are included below. They will give them to you when you go to turn in your clearances, but to save time feel free to print them out and take them with you.
I have not looked into it, but it appears that Governer Ridge has waived the clearance fee. So if this was holding you back from getting clearances no need to now. From what I understand if you already have paid you will not get reimbursed.
The madatory training is also available online know. Go to the Northgate website for details.
If you have already turned in your clearances or are planning on turning in your clearances please email me. I am putting a list together to give to the school so we know who has turned in clearances. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
Thank you,
Greg Tadda
