Presale tickets available here: A physical copy of this form went home with your students today, you can do either the virtual or physical form. Anyone can attend the Carnival but Presale packages allow you to get your Fall Carnival tickets ahead of time, skip the line and save money!

Volunteer Opportunities here!

A vision and hearing screening is scheduled at St. Joe’s the week of August 26th. Your school nurse will provide a vision screening for kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th grades using the Plusoptix vision screener provided by Envision. The vision screening will not provide a diagnosis, only a Pass or Refer result. The hearing screening will only be for kindergarten and red flagged students. Screenings help us to identify potential vision and hearing problems and are not intended to replace an evaluation by a primary care provider. No news is good news, you will only hear from the school nurse with a Refer result. Please reach out to your school nurse if you have any questions or prefer that your child opt out of the screening process.

As of 7/1/2024, the Diocese of Boise implemented the VIRTUS Program (formerly CMG Connect) as its new comprehensive safe environment training platform. As volunteers for the Diocese of Boise, you will have access to your previous training records within the database. When it's time for you to complete a training document, to obtain recertification training or conduct a background check, you will receive automatic email notification from the VIRTUS website to access your account. The email will contain your VIRTUS User ID, how to reset your password and instructions of the needed requirement.

For existing users:

• To access your VIRTUS account, please go to www.virtus.org and log in as an existing user with your user ID that was provided in an email from the diocese to you last week.
• All existing users will need to reset their passwords. Please click on the following link to reset your password: https://www.virtusonline.org/virtus/forgot_password.cfm
• If during this process you have difficulty resetting your password, please contact the VIRTUS Helpdesk at helpdesk@virtus.org or at 888-847-8870.

If you are a new volunteer/employee:

• Please go to www.virtus.org, select First-Time Registrant and follow the prompts.
  

For new families and those that are not new but have not volunteered before, you must attend an in person Safe Environment Workshop before you can begin volunteering in any capacity. St. Joseph's will be holding an in person class on August 27th at 6 pm in the school cafeteria.

• You will need to create your account on VIRTUS (link provided above) and register to attend the class. If you have any difficulty registering for the class at St. Joe's, please reach out to Kendall Mooney at mooneyk@stjoes.com.
• You are welcome to attend an in person SEW being given at another treasure valley Catholic parish/school but you must let them know that you are with St. Joseph's Catholic School so that we will be notified.
