LiveScan Notice

Dear St. Finn Barr Parents,

As you know, St. Finn Barr Catholic School abides by the Archdiocese of San Francisco LiveScan fingerprinting guidelines regarding all volunteers and chaperones.

All volunteers and chaperones must have a completed LiveScan on file with the school and completed the Virtus online course, "Protecting God's Children 4.0" (which expires every three years) at www.virtus.org. Parents need to complete the online training class (Virtus) BEFORE getting fingerprinted. The fingerprints will not process correctly if you do not have a Virtus account.

FACTS

  1. All chaperones/volunteers must be over the age of 21 (Drivers must be 25) and must complete the Protecting God’s Children 4.0 Course online. (Course must be taken every 3 years)
  2. All chaperones must clear a LiveScan fingerprinting (good forever)
  3. LiveScan registrations must be initiated by first registering through the Virtus Website.
  4. For driving field trips, all drivers must submit a copy of a valid driver’s license and insurance to the school office one week before the trip.

Complete the online course before getting fingerprinted.
