NEWSAFEENVIRONMENTTRAINING
“ProtectingGod’sChildren”
All parents of children attending schools in the Oakland diocese are required to
complete a FREE online training course and provide proof of completion to the
school office. This training course replaces one that was previously required, so
even if you completed the previous course, you will need to take this new one.
Below is the link for the new safe environment training - VIRTUS Online:
http://www.oakdiocese.org/offices/safe-environment
There are two Blue Buttons, one is for English and one is for Spanish, you can
choose either one. The class will take approximately 1 hour 15 min. and you can
stop at any time. When you log in again, it brings you to where you stopped.
At the end you will need to print out the Certificate of completion and bring it to
school or send it to: [email protected].
Training must be completed by September 15, 2016.
If you have any questions, please contact the school office
at 510-657-1674 or [email protected].

5 Beautification Day
Preparing our Garden Beds
Service Hour Opportunity!
We will be sprucing up the school
grounds, just in time for the first day of
school. Join us on Saturday, August
13, from 9am – 12pm. Please bring
work gloves and if you have tools to
use, such as clippers, a broom, rake or
weeding tool that would be great. The
school has some tools and cleaning
supplies, too.
Water and snacks will be provided.
If you haven’t already signed up, please
send an email to Mrs. Murray at
[email protected] if you are interested
in helping out.
Coming Soon!!
A “Paint Nite” event at OLG.
The school vegetable garden is still
producing, thanks to AnnMarie Silveira!
Now we are making plans to prepare our
raised garden beds so that each class will
be able to plant a new crop in the fall.
Would you like to donate a bag of
compost to this project? If so, you can
receive 1 Service Hour for each $10 you
spend* (save your receipt). Compost can
be dropped off at school during school
hours (9am – 3pm during the summer
and 7:45am – 4:30pm during the school
year).
* Donations can only apply toward a portion
of the required Service Hours.
A minimum of 24 hours of “service” is
required for a 2-parent family and a minimum
of 20 hours of “service” is required for a 1parent family.
The 8th grade class is planning a
“Paint Nite” fundraiser in
September. These events are lots of
fun and everyone goes home with
their own work of art, painted on
canvas. This will be an adult-only
event. More details will be
published in future bulletins.
