Working with Minors Policy


All adults who volunteer at Christ the King are required to go through the Safe Environment

Training (formerly known as Protecting God's Children) and fill out a Criminal History Background Check Form.


Since twenty hours of volunteer service to the school or the church is required of all families, all parents are urged to comply with the requirement stated above. No volunteer may be in our school unless they are in compliance. This includes, but is not limited to, helping in a classroom, the library or cafeteria, driving or chaperoning a field trip, or working the gate or concession stand at athletic events.
