Please note that Wallingford-Swarthmore School District distinguishes between volunteers and visitors in that visitors are viewed as individuals who are attending and/or observing an event or activity without providing a service to the students, staff, or school/district operations.  Some examples of these events would include but are not limited to: Back to School Nights, Parent/Teacher Conferences, School Assemblies, Student Concerts/Performances, etc.  In this capacity, school visitors do not need the clearances as described below.
