Child Safe Practices

As a private Christian educational organization, we value the safety and well being of our students. All classes/rehearsals and events have Child Safe certified monitors. All parents are responsible to help with monitoring. As a 501c3 non profit group, we comply with all of the state and federal regulations for child safety.

Volunteers must get 3 clearances and read two policies every 5 years.

PA Police Check/Child Abuse Check
KeepKidsSafe – http://keepkidssafe.pa.gov/resources/clearances/index.htm
Clicking on “Get a Clearance” tab provides ALL the info for processing clearances, including the correct codes.

When printing your Criminal Check report, BE VERY CAREFUL to look for the hypertext PRINT CERTIFICATE at the bottom of the page. It is small and easy to miss. We need the Certificate, not the receipt.
