VOLUNTEERS:
Many parents have inquired about obtaining proper clearances to volunteer in our school. Please be sure to follow the directions on the diocesan website. You can view steps by clicking this link or by going to our "Families" tab and then click on "Volunteer Information."
We also wanted to share that there is now a new location here in Waynesboro for fingerprinting through IdentoGo. It is located near the Burger King, Nu Vogue area. Some volunteers may require this clearance so it is more convenient to have this service locally for our families.
