Values and Respect

PTO Overview

Parent Teacher Organization Overview

The St. Veronica Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is sponsored by the School to promote a cooperative effort at meeting certain needs of the student body.

The PTO strives:

To serve in an advisory capacity to support the principal/administration;
To provide a means by which parents can respectfully articulate their values and expectations regarding the school so that these can be examined and addressed by the principal/administration;
To support and promote quality Catholic education at the school;
To encourage Catholic values of family life;
To share with teachers the values that parents are attempting to develop with their children at home;
To acquaint parents with up-to-date information concerning current developments in educational initiatives as they may affect the School so that they can be in a better position to promote the legitimate rights of their children;
To unify parents in an effort to raise funds each year for school needs.

Coordinated through the PTO, St. Veronica Catholic School welcomes the help of parents, relatives, and friends. Volunteers are encouraged to help in school during school hours, at home with special activities, or with PTO fundraisers and activities.

We especially need volunteers to assist in the library, lunchroom, and on the playground at lunch recess. You do not need to have a child enrolled in the school to be a volunteer.

PTO Volunteers and VIRTUS

All volunteers are required by the Diocese of Arlington to attend a VIRTUS training course on sexual misconduct entitled "Protecting God's Children." Please go to www.VIRTUS.org to register for this class.

In addition to the VIRTUS training, volunteers supervising students will be required to be fingerprinted and undergo a background check. Please bring a check in the amount of $30 to cover the Diocesan charge for processing background paperwork. Check should be made payable to "St. Veronica School".

Once VIRTUS training and background checks are complete, please submit your paperwork to the school office.
