Dear All Souls Catholic School Families,

When it is time that you need to renew your Virtus account, you will receive a reminder. However, if you allow the deadline for the reminder to pass, your account will be automatically disabled by the Archdiocese of San Francisco. As a result, your fingerprints will be wiped from your Virtus account. That means, you will need to redo your LIveScan (fingerprints).

While we wait for your fingerprints to clear again, you will be unable to coach, volunteer at school, chaperone on field trips, etc. So, please pay attention to your Virtus reminders and respond promptly to all notifications.
