Volunteer Requirements and Training
Resurrection Catholic Parish School relies on volunteers and eagerly welcomes parents and guardians inside to help with various tasks throughout the year. These opportunities are communicated on an as-needed basis directly from classroom teachers or from the school administration through the weekly e-newsletter.
We have strong safety protocols in place to ensure the protection of our students.
Resurrection Catholic School and Parish, along with every other school and church within the Archdiocese of Portland, follows requirements for child protection training. These requirements are set forth by the Archdiocese to ensure that our volunteers and staff are trained and cleared to work in schools, and that our schools and churches remain safe for our kids.
For new volunteers to RCPS, mandatory in person training is required. This training is referred to as the CASE training. A background check is also required and volunteers must also read Know Your Policies from the Archdiocese's website.
