Here in the GRACE school system, the safety of our students is of the utmost importance. That is why each school has emergency response policies and security protocols in place to ensure a safe environment for learning. In addition, we mandate a background check (every four years) and VIRTUS Training, a safe environment best practices program for every employee, clergy, and volunteer, to further protect our students from physical, sexual, and emotional abuse (annually).
Each person has an inherent dignity as a beloved child of God. The Diocese of Green Bay is committed to providing a safe environment in our parishes, in our schools, in our Faith Formation programs, and in all our ministries, especially those that serve youth and individuals at risk.
It is recommended that new families complete this training sooner rather than later – so you are ready to go for your child’s first field trip or other volunteer spots!
