Just a reminder that if you volunteer in our school regularly (three hours or more a month) you must have a background check done through the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. 

The Archdiocesan Decree on Child Protection (B.2-B.5) requires all employees and volunteers who have significant contact with children to have a criminal background check.  The Ohio Revised Code also requires certain employees (e.g., teachers, teacher aides) working with children to have a criminal background check.  The brochure outlining the decree can be found at:  http://www.catholiccincinnati.org/childprotect/brochure.pdf  and the full decree can be found at:  http://www.catholiccincinnati.org/childprotect/decree.pdf .

In our area, fingerprinting and background checks are available at St. Teresa of Avila.  The Archdiocese has a more complete listing of sites that do fingerprinting. http://www.catholiccincinnati.org/admin/fingerprint_sites.htm

Below is what is currently listed for St. Teresa of Avila.  Please check their website for more current schedules.  St. Teresa only does BCI (State of Ohio) checks (FBI is necessary for anyone who has not been a resident of Ohio consecutively for the last five years).
