VIRTUS TRAINING
 
Teachers and school personnel have been trained in the VIRTUS PROGRAM which helps adults to become more aware of persons and situations which are dangerous to our children.  This program is now available to the parents of our school and we strongly recommend that every parent attend this program.  It is now mandatory for all adults who visit the school or chaperone class trips to take this program.
 
The school district always sends us information about child predators who live in the area.  You can view these folders in the school office.  However, the best way to handle this problem is by teaching your child to stay away from strangers and never to get into their cars.  Children should never go anywhere alone and should never talk to a stranger.
 
If you have not attended a Virtus Training, you may not be a volunteer in your child’s class or for the school.
 
Please check the Diocese of Rockville Centre website to register for these courses if you wish to help at school or chaperone a field trip.
