Child Protection & Substitute Teacher Training
|
|
All of our volunteers must complete the Archdiocese Child Protection course. Once you have completed the initial course you may renew online annually.
The next Child Protection training at MCPS will be on Wednesday, January 22 at the high school campus. You must pre-register online (see details below).
Please note changes made to the Child Protection process:
The Safe Environments Program (Child Protection training) is required of all employees, all volunteers who have substantial contact with minors, and all clergy. The objective of the program is to provide specific training in the prevention, recognition and reporting of child abuse, as well as specific training in providing for safe environments for minors enrolled in Archdiocesan sponsored activities.
In order to complete the initial training, you must:
- Log onto CMGConnect to create an online account. (Instructions for creating an account may be found here.)
- Complete the online Initial Live Safe Environment Training & Background Check Curriculum
- Attend an Initial Training Class (Pre-Registration is MANDATORY for attendance.)
- Click here to get started
- If you have any questions, please call 251-434-1559
The defensive driving module in your CMGConnect Portal and the
Volunteer Driver form
must also be completed before driving any Montgomery Catholic students for school activities and field trips.

Substitute Teacher Training
We will hold a Substitute Teacher training on Tuesday, February 4 at 12:00PM in the Conference Room at the High School/Middle School Campus Gym. All adults who are interested must attend this training AND have completed Child Protection training before they will be able to work as a substitute.

Middle School Volunteer Opportunities
|
|
As part of our mission to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, we believe all students are called to be good stewards of their own time, talent, and treasure engaging in service as part of their educational growth. The Montgomery Catholic Preparatory School service hour requirement is intended for students to go beyond their current school and/or church obligations.
At our Middle School, students in seventh and eighth grades are required to attend one (1) service day organized by the school and made available for all middle school students. Of course, parents are always welcome! Each student is required to attend at least one of these service opportunities over the course of the school year. See page 43 in the Student Handbook.
Saturday, May 16, 2020 8:30-11:00 am:
We will help beautify our campus and set up for the graduation events scheduled for the following week.
I have created a "Sign Up Genius" to make signing up easy; just click on this link to
SIGN UP HERE! An email reminder will be sent two days before your desired event.
As other opportunities arise, I will add them to the website and send an email with the details.
Remember, students are only required to attend one (1) of these events. Of course, they are welcome to participate in more than one!
