Any fundraising hours over 10 hours will be applied toward General Participation Hours.
Note: If you receive Tuition Assistance, you are required to contribute 10 additional General Parent Volunteer Hours (PVH). If this obligation is not fulfilled, future subsidies may not be granted.
Participation hours need to be completed in two areas: General and Fundraising
General Participation Hours: Twenty (20) of the thirty-five (35) required hours may be served in any area that benefits the children of our school and our parish. Parents may earn these hours through any of the following areas: working in the classroom, organizing or working special events, attending board meetings, coaching, etc. See more details in the Parent/Student handbook. Note: If you receive financial assistance from the school, you are required to add ten (10) additional volunteer hours to the general hour requirement.
Fundraising Participation Hours: Fifteen (15) of the thirty-five (35) hours must be earned by assisting St. Joseph Catholic School to raise funds for the school’s annual operating budget. This requirement is necessary to ensure increased participation by more parents in raising money for the benefit of the entire school community. Parents may earn fundraising hours during the school year through the following activities and/or events: Walk-a-thon, Crab Feed, Worlds Finest Chocolate Sale, Read-a-thon, etc. See more details in the Parent/Student handbook.
