Volunteer and Visitor Requirements
To ensure the safety of all students, all visitors must check in at the main office before going to classrooms.
Parents/Guardians and other SHCS visitors must complete VIRTUS® Online Training and receive clearance on a criminal background check. SHCS visitors who haven't received criminal background clearances and VIRTUS® Online Training, which is valid for 3 years, should not expect to assist in the classroom, participate in field trips, or otherwise serve as school volunteers. It is suggested that you get a background check and VIRTUS® Online Training in place at the beginning of the school year.
VIRTUS® Online Training
The Archdiocese of San Antonio requires all adult volunteers who minister to children/youths to complete Adult Safe Environment Training. Training is required to be renewed every three years.
