St. Isaac Jogues Catholic Grade School Protecting God's Children
Out of concern for the safety and well-being of children, every diocesan parish, school or religious education employee or volunteer who is involved with minors on a regular, recurring basis and those who may have an opportunity to be alone with children during parish, school or religious education sponsored events, are required to complete the following requirements prior to employment or volunteering:
    A. Register with VIRTUS (create a VIRTUS account for Diocese of Joliet/St. Isaac Jogues)
    B. Read two Diocese of Joliet Policies and electronically acknowledge and date each one
   C. Complete a Protecting God’s Children training session
   D. Submit to a fingerprint-based criminal background check (employees), or a name-based criminal background check in      
        Selection.com/FASTRAX (volunteers)

​  E.  Additional requirements for employees, school board members, coaches, scout leaders, religious education and youth ministry       
​        volunteers.
