The CORI Process

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. Please note all the requirements for the process below.

RENEWALS:
If you have already completed a CORI training with Mrs. Russo in a previous year, you need only RENEW at the beginning of this school year. If you are a RENEWAL you need to do the following:

  1. Please print and fill out the following form to start the renewal process: CORI Form
    a) Please don’t scan and send your forms. We must have a paper copy of the required CORI form with an original, not photocopied, signature.
