Fingerprinting & Background Check
As Christian adults, we have a moral and legal responsibility and are entrusted by God with the spiritual, emotional and physical well-being of minors and vulnerable adults. As minors and vulnerable adults participate in activities within or sponsored by our diocese, it is our commitment to provide an environment that is safe and nurturing. The Safe Environment Program includes:
Required education for all employees (clergy, religious, and laity), those volunteers and others regularly involved with minors, and parents, as to the issue of abuse of children including the detection, prevention, and reporting of child abuse.
Thorough screening and evaluation of the background of all diocesan employees – clergy, religious and laity – and those volunteers who work with children and young people.
Holding those who minister in the name of the Diocese of Venice – all diocesan employees (clergy, religious and laity) and those volunteers who work with children and young people – to Christ-centered and professional codes of conduct.

Parent Pick procedures
All people authorized to pick up any student MUST be listed on the registration form for security and safety of the
children. You MUST Bring in your Car tag and ID for pick up. NO EXCEPTIONS!!! Late Pick Up Like yours, our time is valuable,
and our families are waiting for us at the end of the day too! We understand that sometimes things happen and cannot
be avoided so we will afford each family one grace of 10 minutes per year of tardiness with the hopes that you do not
need to use it. After that a $5 per minute will be assessed for excessive tardiness.
We thank you for allowing us to share a bit of adventure with your children each day!
Sincerely,
Kristi Mezick – Owner, Pure Imagination Studio
