Volunteering and Safe Environment Training For Volunteers

Please find all current volunteering opportunities here. All volunteers must complete Safe Environment training prior to volunteering - see below for instructions.

ATTENTION VOLUNTEERS:

In order to volunteer at school you must complete the Safe Environment on-line training (or have completed it in the last 2 years).
Safe Environment compliance in the Diocese of Salt Lake City is a prerequisite to ensure that all those whose duties include contact with children and youth are in compliance with the USCCB Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People.
All diocesan personnel and volunteers must comply with diocesan policies and with applicable state and local laws. The Diocese requires all employees and volunteers to have completed their training prior to being in a classroom.
Each background check costs $20, which is to be paid by the individual undergoing the Safe Environment Program background check. The school will contact and remit the cost of the background check to the individual.
There are both Adult and Under 18 certifications available. Please choose Saint Olaf Catholic SCHOOL (not church) as your location.
Please call Ms. Earhart in the office, if you have any questions.
Safe Environment Online Training can be found here: https://www.dioslc.org/safe-environment

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to meet other families at the school?

We think the best way to meet new people is to get involved in a variety of school and parish activities throughout the year. Our community is such a significant part of who we are that we require 30 volunteer hours per family, and our hope is that you find fun ways to meet your hours and find many friends along the way. Please see the Home and School (HSA) Page for activities you can participate in and/or volunteer for.

How does the school communicate information to families?

What is FACTS Student Information System?

Streamline admissions. Improve communication. Provide families with the information they need through FACTS Student Information System (SIS). It automates the seamless flow of information between school administrators, teachers, and parents through state-of-the-art solutions that provide convenience and efficiency.

What types of things can I do to meet my required volunteer hours?

We offer numerous ways to volunteer. One of the easiest ways to find activities is through the Home and School Association. This is where information will be for any teacher requests, room rep requests, class parties, supplies needed, Auction hours, and any other volunteer school needs. You can also talk with your child's teacher about specific volunteering in the classroom or you can sign up for an official volunteer position for HSA, classroom rep, or Auction Committee. Any supplies purchased for the school count towards hours as well - $10=1 hour.

You can find current volunteer opportunities here.

Where do I log my required volunteer hours?

Is there a school directory? How do I contact parents in my child's class?

The best way to contact parents is through your classroom teachers. Teachers can easily reach out and connect families ensuring privacy is maintained. We are currently transitioning to an SIS (student information system) called FACTS SIS or Ren Web that will streamline admissions and enrollment and keep health records, permission slips, emergency contacts, and all things student related in one place including academic work, grades, transcripts, etc. Families will be receiving further information.

How does the Used Uniform Sale and School Store work?

Parents and students are welcome to check stock any time before or after school throughout the year for uniforms, especially for one or two items. Please check in at the office to visit our store. The majority of our used stock is shared with new students/families as they wait for orders to process. We encourage sharing of used garments from family to family and feel free to post needs/requests or items available on our schools HSA FB page; HERE.

What is HSA and do I need to attend meetings?

HSA stands for Home and School Association and is the liaison between parents and the school and parish. Any social or fundraising activities are run through HSA, a committee consisting of parents, pastor, principal, and teacher representative. If you want to be involved or to know what activities are going on at the school, attend the once monthly HSA meetings. Please see the HSA web page for more information.

If I need to speak with my child’s teacher, what is the process?

We encourage communication anytime with your child's teacher via email. We welcome individual meetings pre-scheduled with your child's teacher, based on mutual availability. Collectively, Saint Olaf will offer Parent Teacher conferences twice a year. Each parent will have a face to face meeting with both teacher and student to collaboratively set/review educational goals for the school year and discuss any other issues that fit within the scheduled time frame.

Can I bring in a treat for my child’s birthday and/or send Birthday invitations?

Each teacher has a Birthday celebration system in place, which is reviewed with parents. For the safety of our students, we do not allow parents to bring in treats. Thank you for your cooperation with this effort. Please don't hesitate to ask about each classroom Birthday policy. Our teachers love to celebrate their students and have numerous ways they do this throughout the year! If your child is having a birthday party, invitations may only come to or through the school if ALL students from the class are invited.

Can I visit my child’s classroom during school time?

Yes, in fact, we love visits! We do ask that you receive permission from the teacher and the office before your visit. Volunteers must complete a Safe Environment background certification. We encourage parents to observe their child’s learning environment. Teachers often request parent volunteers as well, so check with them regarding ways you can help and participate in the class.

What kinds of after school activities do you have?

In our EDP program, students may complete homework during both the morning and afternoon sessions. Our EDP room is stocked with age/learning appropriate toys, books and games. Outside play time is encouraged as weather permits. Teachers lead various clubs during EDP and are subject to change from year to year and have included: Choir, Strings, and Homework Lab. Saint Olaf has students and parents involved in Girl Scout Troops. Intramural volleyball is offered in the fall and basketball is offered in the winter through CYO.
