Safe Environment Training is required for all
school parents and grandparents who volunteer
for lunch duty, classroom helpers, sports or club
assistants, library helpers, fieldtrip chaperones or
any occasion where an adults volunteer on
campus. The Diocese of Phoenix offers a 3 hour
class called “Protecting God’s Children” at
various parishes in the area. Once you complete
the 3 hour course, each year following you must
update your training by taking on online course.
All adults who volunteer at Annunciation in any
capacity are required to complete or update their
training. If you have not, you will not be
permitted to volunteer to assist with student
related activities during the school day or at
school events.
For more information please visit
http://www.safeenvironmenttraining.org/ and
click on Register for Classes. The school office
will be confirming your class completion before
you can volunteer on campus. Thank you for your
volunteerism and for keeping our students safe!

New Uniform Order Pick Up
If you ordered uniforms in May, our orders will be ready for
pick up after all masses on Sunday, August 16 and at open
house on Monday, August 17. We will also be selling
used uniforms from the uniform closet, ACS hats, & in stock
spirit shirts.
We will be taking uniform orders once again in October for
items you may have missed, like cold weather attire (long
sleeves, pants, hoodies, cardigans). A special thanks to our
Uniform Closet volunteers, Danielle Paluscio and Christina
Ryan for keeping our students in the latest and greatest
ACS gear!
We will be accepting used uniforms in clean and good
condition for our back to school uniform closet resale in
August.
If you are ready to clear out the old items and make room for
the new, bring your gently used, washed uniforms to the
school office beginning Monday, July 21.
If you need uniform assistance please contact
Danielle at [email protected].
