Volunteering |
|
Each family is required to contribute a minimum of 20 volunteer hours to the school. All hours must be completed prior to May 31st. Any hours served after May 31st will apply to the next school year’s volunteer requirement. Each family will be responsible for recording their own hours by using the sign-in log located in the office for school activities, or by completing volunteer time sheets for all other hours. A volunteer packet is sent out to each family in the summer packet with all the necessary information and forms to be completed. Parents volunteering for school activities must be fingerprint cleared. Refer to the section on fingerprinting for details. Families will be informed of any hours not served or ‘bought’ by May 31st at which time payment may be made with cash, check or credit card at a rate of $15 per hour. If the fee is not paid promptly, it will be added to the following year’s tuition statement. For families graduating or transferring, records will be held until all debts are paid to the school. A “buy out” option at the rate of $15 per hour/$300 per year is available for families whose schedule does not permit active involvement. As role models for our students, volunteers are expected to demonstrate modesty, appropriate Christian behavior and maintain the confidentiality of our students and families. Volunteers are not permitted to bring siblings to school while volunteering their services. Cell phone use while volunteering is considered a distraction; please refrain from all cell phone use on school property. In accordance with diocesan regulations, all employees and all volunteers are subject to a criminal background check that includes fingerprinting (effective 9/97). Before any parent can volunteer in any capacity at Holy Family Catholic School, they must follow the clearance procedures, pay the processing fees and complete the Safe Environment Quiz online.
