Protecting God's Children / VIRTUS TRAINING
Office For The Protection Of Children And Youth
Mary, Seat of Wisdom School appreciates the generosity of parents and community members in volunteering their time to our school and to our students. The Archdiocese of Chicago requires employees and volunteers to be in full compliance with the steps outlined by the Office for the Protection of Children and Youth. These items must be completed by all school and parish employees and volunteers (age 18 and older) prior to beginning service, as per Archdiocesan policy.
Safe Environment compliance is a condition of employment and volunteer service.
