Each parent will be expected to contribute a set number of service hours to the school each year. Each parent of children in preschool will be expected to serve 10 hours each. Half of those hours need to be in fundraising efforts. Parents’ Club Executive Board and the School Advisory Council agreed to this commitment to ensure that our major fundraisers have adequate help and that all parents participate. The community service hours contract is part of your registration packet and needs to be returned with all other registration forms.
