St. Katherine of Siena Roman Catholic Church

Although this school year is starting out under different circumstances, it is still necessary to ensure all parents / guardians who wish to volunteer at school or chaperone their children are up-to-date with their Safe Environment Clearances for when school activities do return to normal.  No one will be allowed to volunteer or chaperone at SKS who is not fully cleared thru the Safe Environment Program.

If you originally submitted your Criminal Checks and Disclosure Statement back in 2015 they are now expired/expiring.  For those submitted in early 2016, they will be expiring in 2021.  Please check your records to see if it is time to renew your PA Criminal Check, PA Child Abuse Check or your two page Disclosure Statement for Volunteers.  If you need to renew, kindly go to the school website, under the PARENT button, scroll down to Volunteer Information, click open and print out the CHECKLIST for instructions and websites to go to to renew your criminal checks.  Also print out your Disclosure Statement for Volunteers, read, sign and have another adult witness your signature.  Place all renewed documents in an envelope marked “Safe Environment-Carmela” and drop it in the mail slot in the Rectory’s front door.  Keep copies of all documents for your own records.

Anyone not renewing the above three clearances will not be allowed to volunteer or chaperone at SKS.

For new SKS student parents, you will need to complete the above criminal checks and statement, along with the mandatory Archdiocesan Training as listed on the above mentioned CHECKLIST.

If you need further assistance, please call Carmela, in the Rectory, 215-637-7548, ext 224.  This is a shared extension. 

Your assistance in this very important matter is greatly appreciated.
