Open House Tuesday, February 25th - 9:00 -11:00 am Applications Now Being Accepted for PK - Grade 7 ADMISSIONS
The safety and security of each child attending Aquinas Academy is of the greatest importance. No one will be allowed to volunteer for lunch duty, chaperone on a class trip, etc. unless all of the requirements, as mandated by the American Conference of Bishops in conjunction with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark, have been completed.
Here you will find the most recent version of the Policies on Professional and Ministerial Conduct for the Archdiocese of Newark and the Volunteer Application. All volunteers must read both documents. Having read the Policies on Professional and Ministerial Conduct, kindly download, sign and return the Acknowledgement of Compliance including the Archdiocesan Code of Ethics (Page 23) to Mrs. Wehrfritz as soon as possible. Pay close attention to pages 12 and 13.
The Volunteer Application must also be downloaded, filled out completely, signed and returned to Mrs. Wehrfritz together with the Code of Ethics. References will be checked. Data from this form will be used to perform a background check on all volunteers. Your credit will not be checked.
In addition, each volunteer is required to attend a PROTECTING GODS’S CHILDREN WORKSHOP. You will need to register online with the VIRTUS Program (link also in sidebar).
You will see a message on the screen confirming that you have completed the process.
Again, no one will be allowed to volunteer for lunch duty, chaperone on a class trip, etc. unless all of the above requirements have been completed.
Thank you for offering to share your precious time with our children! If you have any questions, feel free to contact Mrs. Wehrfritz at 973-992-1587.
