Volunteers are key to the success of our students at Hyde-Addison Elementary School. 

DCPS policy requires volunteers to complete the Volunteer Clearance Process, which includes the online Clearance Application, a TB test, fingerprinting (Fieldprint Code: FPDCEMPLOYEE), Child Protection register screening, sex offender register screening, drug and alcohol testing, and finally the clearance letter. Steps are detailed with links below:

  1. Complete the DCPS Clearance Application. If it asks for a DCPS point of contact, use Katie Mustian, Assistant Principal, 202-282-0170.

  2. Complete the TB Risk Assessment Screening, embedded in the DCPS Clearance Application. If directed, based on the results of your TB Risk Assessment Screening, provide TB test or chest x-ray analysis results to the DCPS Clearance team at dcps.clearance@k12.dc.gov.

  3. Schedule a time and place to get fingerprinted by visiting https://schedule.fieldprint.com

  4. Click “Schedule an Appointment” on the right side of the screen.

  5. Enter an email address under “New Users/Sign Up” and click the “Sign Up” button. Follow the instructions for creating a Password and Security Question and then click “Sign Up and Continue”.

  6. Enter the Fieldprint Code: FPDCEMPLOYEE. The following Fieldprint Code will give you access to fingerprinting services.

  7. Enter the contact and demographic information required by the FBI and schedule a fingerprint appointment at the location of your choosing.

  8. At the end of the process, print the Confirmation Page. Take the Confirmation Page with you to your fingerprint appointment, along with two forms of identification.

Questions regarding these screenings can be directed to the DCPS Clearance team at dcps.clearance@k12.dc.gov.
