Updated July 2021
The attached memo gives instructions on how to do the background check and Virtus training online, which involves three things: you’ll do the actual training, authorize a background check, and acknowledge the Code of Ethics. Have your driver’s license with you when you do this because you will need info from it for the background check authorization. The background checks are done by a company that the diocese contracts with; we receive no actual results, only an e-mail that tells us you were approved. The diocese has advised us to tell people that this registration cannot be done from a smartphone; it must be done from a computer because of the background check authorization.
For your location, please select: “St. Edmond Catholic School/Holy Trinity – 242 (Fort Dodge).”
The attached instructions are outdated in that they are geared toward in-person Virtus training, but at this time with the Covid-19 situation all training is being done online. So rather than register for in-person training at a future date as set out in the instructions, you will go ahead and do the training online. Please know that it may take up to two hours to do the training so allow time for that.
The background check, acknowledgement of the Code of Ethics, and Virtus child abuse training are required for any individual who works for or volunteers with St. Edmond School or Holy Trinity Parish.
If you have any questions at all or have problems with this, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thanks very much!!
