Safe Environment Training/ Entrenamiento de Ambiente Seguro

In order to be fully available to take advantage of all parent volunteer opportunities, the Diocese requires school volunteers to go through Safe Environment Training and a Level II Background Screening. Parents who do not complete this training and bring certificates to the school will not be able to volunteer around children or during school hours.

To complete the certification you must:

1. Create an online account and complete a Safe Environment Program Training for Access to Children. Once complete the free training you will receive a certificate of completion, which is good for 5 years. Please bring that certificate to the school.
   
2. Fingerprint-Based Background Screening:  You must attend one of the locations to get your fingerprints. These have a cost of $51 and are valid for 5 years.
   
3. Complete a Covered Volunteer Application Form and turn it into the school office.

For any questions, please contact the Office of the Safe Environment Program within the Diocese of St. Petersburg at 727-344-1611, ext. 5303

A fin de estar completamente disponible para aprovechar todas las oportunidades de voluntariado para padres, la Diócesis requiere que los voluntarios de la escuela pasen por un Entrenamiento Ambiente Seguro y un Análisis de Antecedentes de Nivel II. Los padres que no completen esta capacitación y traigan certificados a la escuela no podrán ofrecerse como voluntarios alrededor de los niños o durante el horario escolar.

Para completar la certificación debe:

1. Asistir a un programa de ambiente seguro (safe environment) para el acceso a los niños. Una vez completado, recibirá un certificado de finalización, que es válido por 5 años. Por favor traiga ese certificado a la escuela.

2. Detección de antecedentes basada en huellas digitales: debe asistir a una de las ubicaciones para obtener sus huellas dactilares. Estos tienen un costo de $ 55 y son válidos por 5 años.

3. Complete un formulario de solicitud de voluntario cubierto y envíelo a la oficina de la escuela.

Para cualquier pregunta, comuníquese con la Oficina del Programa de Ambiente Seguro dentro de la Diócesis de San Petersburgo al 727-344-1611, ext. 5303
