Parental involvement is encouraged at OLPS, and the archdiocese mandates that all volunteers are screened and trained in safe environment practices. Virtus is the platform used to track each volunteer’s training and background checks. You must renew your safe environment and background check every three years. Virtus will send you an email advising when you need to renew any requirement. Therefore, it is important to update your email address in your Virtus account to receive updates. When you initially create your Virtus account, you will be required to electronically sign four documents. These documents will need to be signed every year. Simply open your Virtus account each year and electronically sign. Please see the Instruction Sheet on how to create your Virtus account if you are new to OLPS or if you have not yet established an account.
