VIRTUS Training
The Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas REQUIRES all volunteers (and staff) at our school take a course through the Archdiocese called VIRTUS training. This class is designed to prevent the abuse of God’s children. The program identifies the warning signs of abuse and teaches strategies for maintaining safe environments for children.
If you plan on driving to any field trips, volunteering in the classrooms, helping on field day, on party days, to be a room-parent, volunteering at all you MUST be VIRTUS trained. All parent and grandparent volunteers must have this training and forms from the class turned into the Preschool Office. VIRTUS class can be scheduled through the Archdiocese web site.
