VOLUNTEERS

Volunteers are welcome and needed at St. Bernard School to help provide the many programs, services and activities that we offer to our students and to assist in running school efficiently. Many opportunities are available for willing volunteers. To get involved, please contact the school office or the Parents' Club.

All volunteers, including field trip chaperones, are required by the Archdiocese of Cincinnati to meet the requirements of the Child Protection Decree. (See below.)
Visitors must sign in at the School Office and pick up a visitor badge.

Archdiocesan Child Protection Decree

The purpose of the Archdiocesan Child Protection Decree is to prevent the abuse of children and to provide a pastoral response if incidents of abuse occur. The Decree requires employees and volunteers who have contact with school children to attend a Child Protection Workshop and to have a criminal background check. (be fingerprinted.) FBI check if they have not been an Ohio resident for the last five years.

The Child Protection Decree is offered at St. Bernard when needed.  To find other sites, go to the website - www.catholiccincinnati.org.
