Requirements for Volunteers:
The vitality of our school community is greatly supported by the level of family involvement in the educational experience of each child. School events, classroom volunteer opportunities, and field trips will be planned and offered. In order to keep a safe environment for our students, all individuals (parents, grandparents) having contact with students through volunteering at the school or chaperoning any field trip, must complete the CORI (Criminal Offender Record Information) process mandated by the Fall River Diocese Office of Safe Environment.
ALL adult volunteers MUST complete and be current on all the necessary forms, background check, online trainings, as well as present the proper certificates (if completing the online training) to the school in order to be allowed to chaperone a trip or volunteer in the classroom. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to take part in these events because you are not current…act now!
Please note all the requirements below, and feel free to call with any questions you may have. Thank you for your cooperation!
