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. 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.).

  • Background checks do not need to be conducted to attend after-school activities, including athletic games, extracurricular activities, etc.

  • All visitors must submit a background check at least 48-hours prior to visiting our schools. If a background check is not on file, visitors will need to complete one at the front office before entering the building.

  • 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 easily show their pass to enter all of our large elementary school events. To receive a Fast Pass, please:

Once these two steps are complete, and the background check is certified, Fast Pass will be printed and sent home with the student. A lanyard and plastic sleeve will be provided for all Fast Passes.

  • During all Fast Pass events, visitors will be asked to show a photo ID. We recommend making a photo copy of your driver license, cutting it out, and placing it in the plastic sleeve behind the Fast Pass.

Please note, all visitors who have submitted a background check at least 48-hours prior to an event, but who have not received a Fast Pass, will be required to check in at the front desk.
