Parent volunteers are required to complete the VIRTUS online course Protecting God’s Children® every 3 years. The Protecting God's Children program is a three-hour online awareness session instructing adults that to protect children you must have continuous awareness and vigilance. This session explains the signs of child abuse, the methods and means by which offenders commit abuse, and steps one can use to prevent child abuse. You can do your training at www.virtusonline.org/virtus/protecting_children.cfm. Once competed, turn the completion certificate and $15 payment to the school office. ... See MoreSee Less

Parent volunteers are one of the things we truly love at St. Agnes. Whether you plan to volunteer in a classroom, chaperone a field trip, or drive students to assist at Concord Royale, you'll need to be cleared first by getting fingerprinted. Avoid the rush on the first day of school and get your fingerprints on file over the summer. Stop by the school office first to request a Live Scan form then head to a certified scan location (check your local PostalAnnex) for processing.You only need to be fingerprinted once within the Oakland Diocese but it can take weeks to have your scan processed. Getting this out of the way over the summer means you'll be ready to volunteer on campus sooner. ... See MoreSee Less

Whether you're into Dr. Seuss, Sailor Moon, or Shakespeare, daily reading has a wealth of benefits for all ages. Reading helps increase vocabulary and comprehension, reduce stress, keep your brain active, and expose you to new information and ideas. If you're looking for something new to read, check out the Contra Costa County Library's website at ccclib.org. Search for books by title, author, or subject, or go under the Browse tab to find staff recommendations and collections by age group. Place the books you want on hold and select at which library you prefer to pick up. They'll email you when your books are ready! You can even opt for a grab bag of staff-picked books by age group.Keep track of all the books you read over the summer as part of our Relax, Read, and Earn program. Mrs. Cesca always has great prizes for our summer readers!www.stagnesconcord.com/students/classes/library/ ... See MoreSee Less
