In Person Volunteering Opportunity 

Our awesome teachers are very busy teaching the students. They spend many hours before and after school doing lesson plans, grading papers, and preparing materials. To assist the teachers, the PTO is sponsoring a “Helping Hands” volunteer event during the school day in the Parish Activity Center (PAC) to do little projects for the teachers. Potential projects may include cutting, sorting, organizing, tearing workbook pages from books, creating fidgets, etc. We provide coffee, water, snacks, and a great opportunity to meet other parents. Please note the date has been moved – the new date is Thursday, September 29th.

Volunteers are asked to sign in at the front office and do not need to be VIRTUS certified.  If you’re interested in volunteering, please sign up using Help Counter or just show up on that day! Questions? Please contact Sharon Storey at sharonstorey83@gmail.com. Thank you in advance for helping our wonderful teachers and staff!

Oportunidad de voluntariado en persona

Nuestros increíbles profesores están muy ocupados enseñando a los estudiantes. Ellos pasan muchas horas antes y después de la escuela haciendo planes de lecciones, calificando trabajos, y preparando materiales. Para ayudar a los maestros, el PTO está patrocinando un evento de voluntarios “Helping Hands” durante el día escolar en el Centro de Actividades de la Parroquia (PAC) para hacer pequeños proyectos para los maestros. Los proyectos potenciales pueden incluir cortar, clasificar, organizar, arrancar páginas de libros, crear fidgets, etc. Proporcionamos café, agua, bocadillos, y una gran oportunidad para conocer a otros padres. Por favor, tenga en cuenta que la fecha ha sido cambiada – la nueva fecha es el jueves 29 de septiembre.

Los voluntarios deben registrarse en la oficina principal y no necesitan ser certificados por VIRTUS.  Si está interesado en ser voluntario, por favor inscríbase en el mostrador de ayuda o simplemente preséntese ese día. ¿Preguntas? Por favor, póngase en contacto con Sharon Storey en sharonstorey83@gmail.com. ¡Gracias de antemano por ayudar a nuestros maravillosos maestros y personal!

Please see the link below for a written description and accompanying visual aid designed to provide you with an overview of the All Saints Catholic School Carpool System. The main focus of the procedures that we have set in place is to maintain an arrival and dismissal system that is safe for students, and is also efficient and courteous to the parish and school community, and our surrounding neighbors.

After reviewing the procedures, please let us know if you have any questions by contacting Assistant Principal Ashton Mallon at amallon@allsaintsva.org. 

All Saints Catholic School – Carpool Procedures

Background Checks – Policies for School Parent Volunteers
As part of the diocesan initiative to maintain a safe environment for all of our children, all volunteers in the school are required to complete a background check prior to working in the school and to complete VIRTUS training within 45 days of submitting the background check application.

In accordance with diocesan policy, full compliance for an adult parent volunteer is not required for open events. (An open event is one that is open to the public, infrequent and publicized, such as Field Day, concerts and special events/assemblies.) However, full compliance is required for adult parent volunteers who wish to participate in closed events. (A closed event is one that is not entirely open to the general public such as classroom activities, parties, field trips, etc.) For this reason, all parents who wish to attend field trips or volunteer in support of classroom activities are required to complete the background check process and attend VIRTUS training.

The online application for the diocesan background check can be found at the following link:

• Background Check Instructions

To register for VIRTUS training which is hosted at parishes and schools throughout our diocese, please follow the link below.
