Listen to the Virtue Minute!

It is that time of year when for the safety and protection of all our students, we are double checking that every form has been turned in, every box checked, and every protection is in place.

1. While every child, kindergarten through sixth grade has access to teacher-supervised technology as needed, we do need every family to complete an Electronic Information and Access form. This form outlines our agreements on how to use technology and access the internet appropriately and safely. You will find this form in your Family Portal under Web Forms.

2. It is time for our State mandated audit of health and immunization forms. Please be sure that your child's medical forms are up to date. You can talk to Mrs. Harnish in the office if you have any questions about medical forms or immunizations.

3. Please double-check your Family Portal to be sure that all contact information, including address, is updated.

4. Included in this process is updating our iChat (criminal background check) and Virtus data. Both of these items are required for everyone who enters our building during the school day, this will include classroom parties and events. Virtus is the Protecting God's Children training and can now be completed online. Some people have started their online training, but need to go back in and finish. Others have requested access to the training but never circled back around to it. If you think that you would like to participate in any of our school events during the day, help with chaperoning, or volunteer, we strongly encourage you to complete these two processes sooner rather than later.

This is our major fundraiser for the school. Best practice for quality Catholic Schools operation uses a roughly 1/3-1/3-1/3 funding formula. 1/3 of our funding comes from tuition payments, 1/3 of our funding comes from parish support, and the final 1/3 comes from donations and giving. This means that when your family and friends support the Walk-a-thon they are helping us to engage in best practices. Maintaining the 1/3-1/3-1/3 balance means that we can continue to keep tuition costs down because we are not solely relying on our families to fund the school.

Parents and family members are welcome to join us. You must complete a Criminal Background Check and Virtus training. Please leave pets at home.

It may not be quite October, but it is time to start planning for Santa's Secret Shop. We work with Religious Ed, so the coordinator has a built-in support system. We do need someone new who will lead the school side of Santa's Secret Shop. Santa's Secret Shop is scheduled for December 13-15. The coordinator works with a team of Santa's elves to set up shop, arrange for volunteers to be present during shopping, wrap gifts, and pack up at the end.

Volunteers Needed

• LCAB Members
• Santa's Secret Shop (We will help you get started!)

All school volunteers are required to be Virtus trained (available online) and have a current criminal background check. You may complete the Virtus training at www.Virtus.org>>First Time Registrant.

Criminal background check (iChat) forms can be found here and may be turned in at the office.
