Background Checks and Fast Passes
Windsor Charter Academy welcomes family members and friends to volunteer or participate in all of the exciting activities at our schools! We prioritize school safety and want to ensure that all those who enter our buildings are committed to keeping our community safe. We require all visitors who come to our school during school hours to have a current background check on file and be listed in Infinite Campus. Please follow the process outlined below to ensure families can easily access our buildings.
Step 1: Complete a Colorado Bureau of Investigations (CBI) Background Check
All visitors must submit a CBI Background Check before visiting our schools during school hours (Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.).
All visitors must submit a background check at least 48 hours before visiting our schools.
Background checks will not be run on the day of a large event.
Background checks do not need to be conducted to attend after-school activities, including athletic games, extracurricular activities, etc.
Background checks are valid for four (4) years.
Step 2: Request a Fast Pass - Elementary School Only
Fast Passes are issued to elementary school visitors only. Fast Passes allow visitors to enter large elementary school events quickly.
If you are new to Windsor Charter Academy this year, we encourage you to apply for a Fast Pass by October 14th. After October 14th, Fast Passes will only be issued if they are expired or need to be replaced.
To receive a Fast Pass, please:
Ensure that the school has a current CBI Background Check on file.
Complete the Fast Pass Request Form.
Once these two steps are complete and the background check is certified, the Fast Pass will be printed and sent home with the student. A lanyard and plastic sleeve will be provided for all Fast Passes.
Visitors will be asked to show a photo ID during all Fast Pass events. We recommend photocopying your driver’s license, cutting it out, and placing it in the plastic sleeve behind the Fast Pass.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Mr. Boyes, our security officer.
Fast Pass Replacement Fee
If you lost your Fast Pass, please purchase a replacement pass for $5. Pass holders are not required to complete a new CBI Background Check for lost passes. Background checks only need to be completed if the background check is expired.
