Safe Environment Lesson Plans
1. VIRTUS Lesson Plans - English and Spanish Note from the office of Safe Environment: "The Diocese of Green Bay has subscribed to these Lesson Plans from VIRTUS in September of 2016 to provide a consistent Safe Environment foundation for our children. It is the shared responsibility of parents, teachers and catechists to give our children the awareness and tools they need to overcome anyone who intends to do them harm. It is an expectation that all Catholic Schools and Faith Formation programs use these lesson plans. Additional resources to supplement and build on what is provided here" is available on this website. Supplemental Materials 1.

Virtual Instruction/Youth Meetings (Safe Environment)
As long as teachers/catechists are using a delivery platform approved by the school/parish and the invitation to the session either goes through or copies parents, and parents are invited to sit in and the site leader (Principal or Pastor) is invited and occasionally joins that is pretty similar to how the physical classroom works from a Safe Environment standpoint. There should be an expectation on the part of the teacher/catechist that the DRE or RE coordinator or some other Virtus trained adult may pop in to the virtual session at any point during the session. It would be a best practice for the DRE/CRE or the pastor to pop in to each session/breakout room if possible. It would be better still, to always have another Virtus trained adult in the session with your teacher/catechist. Digital Communications Policy for the Diocese of Green Bay
