Safe Environment Information and Training
The Archdiocese of Seattle requires all volunteers that are in unsupervised contact with children or vulnerable adults to take the Safe Environment class. This means for example: CYO coaches, parents that drive on field trips or work with students at school, religious education class, and Eucharistic ministers to the homebound must take this class.
Everyone is encouraged to view the information on the Safe Environment Program website of the Archdiocese of Seattle. The policies, training and education are important for everyone in the community. Working together, we can utilize the training materials in our schools, church and ministries to provide a safe environment for everyone.
Please feel free to call the school office with questions about the Safe Environment Program, or if you need to check on the status of your training.
For questions, to retrieve or reset unsername/password, or to confirm your status, contact Joan Sullivan.
