Protecting God’s Children

Saint Thomas More Cathedral School values its families and sense of community. Per the Student/Parent Handbook, we ask for each family to volunteer their time and talents, for a total of 20 hours of service. This may be completed by volunteering at a school event, field trip, etc. or donating supplies to support one of the many school events. The Diocese of Arlington is committed to keeping each child safe from harm. Before volunteering at a Diocesan school, parents are required to complete a background check.

Please find the paperwork required here.

Once your background check has been completed, you will be contacted by the front office to come in and sign the hard copy. At that time, you will also be prompted to sign up for a VIRTUS class if you haven't taken one already.

Any parent/volunteer not in compliance with the requirements of the Diocese of Arlington will not be admitted to volunteer for any school event, including field trips.

If parents are unable to volunteer their time but provide donated goods instead, each $15 spent is equal to 1 volunteer hour. 

STM and our student body thrive when families take part in our everyday functions. Thank you for supporting us!
