HOW TO VOLUNTEER WITH NATION FORD BAND​

First Time School Volunteer with Fort Mill School District?

• A social security number is required to submit a background application.
• A driver’s license is required in the school office for the Ident-a-Kid system.
• Without these documents, an accurate background screening cannot be performed.

STEP 1: Fill out the Nation Ford Band Volunteer Background Check Request Form.

You can find the background check request form using the button at the bottom of this web page. Please enter all information as accurately as possible.

STEP 2: We will send a request for your background check via the district approved third-party software, SimpliVerified.

There’s nothing you need to complete for this step of the process. Nation Ford High School’s volunteer coordinator will submit the request on our behalf.

STEP 3: Fill out the background questionnaire.

You will receive a Background Questionnaire email requesting information necessary to complete the background check. Once submitted, the background check will begin.

The email will come from automation@instascreen.net with the subject “Fort Mill School District Background Questionnaire”.

Important note: You will only have 14 days from the date of this email to complete the questionnaire. If you don’t submit the completed form within that timeframe, we will need to start the process over.

STEP 4: Approval Notification

Human Resources will review reports as they are returned and determine the approval status. Mr. Linkous will be notified and will notify the you when your status is determined.
