The CMG Safe Haven online training is replacing the VIRTUS training.
All school volunteers who have frequent, ongoing or recurring contact with students must attend Safe Haven training. Examples are volunteering in more than one school event per year, room parents, field trip chaperones, etc.
The training consists of 3 short training videos, followed by a few questions, the program is approximately 60 minutes in length and will include a criminal background check
that must be completed.
These trainings are available in both English and Spanish. There will no longer be any live training sessions, all Safe Environment trainings will be available online only.
