Volunteer News 
ATTENTION Volunteers - It's Time to Renew Safe Environment!
Diocesan Policy mandates that any adult who volunteers in any capacity with SJB must be current in Safe Environment training. This includes parents and grandparents, classroom or field trip volunteers, coaches, scout leaders, club monitors, etc. 
 
The initial training is a three-hour, in-person class. The next class offered at St. John Bosco is Thursday, August 14, 2014 at 5:00 pm in the MPR. 
 
Once you have taken the class, the annual renewal requirement is an online video that you will watch in your home. Online renewals for this school year must be completed between July 1, 2014 and June 30, 2015, and prior to any volunteer service. Click here and then go to "My Obligations" for renewals. Mrs. Haik will be checking all volunteers who come on campus.
