Virtus Permission Form
We at St. Mel are committed to your child’s safety and well-being. There are daily reports of child abuse, both sexual and other forms in our society. Therefore, we recognize how important it is to “empower” our children and young people with the knowledge and understanding of ways to keep themselves and others safe from potential harm.
The Empowering God's Children & Young People© Safety Program is provided by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles as an ongoing effort to educate children and young people through classroom lessons and activities on ways to maintain their own personal safety. It is based on catechetical principals to help them know they are loved by God and that He wants them to be healthy and safe
The Empowering God's Children & Young People© Safety Program will be presented to our students during the course of Confirmation. Parents will be notified at least 2 weeks prior to the lesson. The topics to be covered this year are Boundaries & Bullying. The lessons include the VIRTUS® Introductory Video "Empowering God's Children," a variety of classroom activities, a Parent/Child Take-Home activity, and a "Catechetical Connection" to the Catechism of the Catholic Church to magnify God's desire for the happiness, health and safety of all children and young people.
