• The safety of our students is a priority at ABVM School. Offering your time and talents is invaluable and we are so grateful for your help. 
  
   To provide our children with the safest environment, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, per Pennsylvania law, requires all volunteers to complete the following steps to attain their clearance. Once you have completed these steps, please submit all paperwork to the School Office, at [email protected]
  
  Clearances must be re-filed every 5 years. 
  
   If you are a current volunteer and are not sure if your clearances are expired, please contact the school at 610-869-9576 or [email protected]  
  
  PLEASE NOTE: CLEARANCES MUST BE SUBMITTED BY DECEMBER 15th OF EACH SCHOOL YEAR TO ATTEND FIELD TRIPS. PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT INITIAL CLEARANCES UNTIL ALL STEPS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.  ALL CLEARANCES SHOULD BE SUBMITTED TOGETHER.
