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!

As announced earlier in the summer and in response to parent feedback via the interest survey conducted during the spring, we are pleased to confirm that the cafeteria program will re-open and provide food service for students, faculty, and staff in the new year. We are delighted to welcome back Mrs. Floribel Fleisig (Cafeteria Supervisor), Mrs. Myriam Slaiby (Kitchen Assistant), and Mrs. Letty Gutierrez (Kitchen Assistant). It is a great blessing for our school that all three members of the team are able to return to restart a program that has been such a beloved tradition at All Saints.
At the beginning of each academic year, All Saints announces a theme that further unites us as a faith community and that provides a daily focus for all of our efforts. I am pleased to share with you the theme for the 2022-2023 school year.
These words of the Blessed Virgin Mary, taken from the Gospel of Luke, are aligned with the second year of preparation for the diocesan celebration of the 50th Anniversary Jubilee. It is Mary who is the Model Disciple who shows us how to the receive the Word and to bear the Word to the world. As we enter into the second year of preparation later this fall, it is a time for us to rejoice in the vitality of our diocese as well as the vibrancy of our school community. I pray that this theme will be a source of inspiration for you and your families throughout this academic year.
More information about the preparation for the Diocesan Golden Jubilee can be found at the link below.
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.
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:
To register for VIRTUS training which is hosted at parishes and schools throughout our diocese, please follow the link below.
