Parent Volunteer Hours

Why do we have parent volunteer hours?
 
Volunteers are an integral part of the success of Our Lady of Grace Catholic School. The parents/legal guardians of our students play a crucial role in creating a vibrant and thriving school community. Your ongoing involvement in the school is critical to our mission of academic excellence and service to others.
 
Minimum Hours
 
Each family is required to volunteer a minimum of 30 hours per year (15 hours for single parent families). Families must work eight of these hours during the parish festival in September.
 
Due Date
 
All volunteer hours for the school year must be completed by May 15th.
 
Note: Failure to complete the required number of volunteer hours will result in a $35 fee for each unfulfilled hour. Financial obligations will be enforced the last week of school.
 
Reporting Volunteer Hours
 
Parents/legal guardians are solely responsible for tracking and reporting their volunteer hours using the Google form below. We recommend that you submit volunteer hours within two weeks of the volunteer event.
 
 
Note: If a volunteer event has a physical sign in sheet, you still need to submit your hours using the Google Form. If you sign in at the front office for an event, you still need to submit your volunteer hours using the Google Form.
 
Changes and Clarifications
  1. Physical sign-in sheets or SignUp Genius webpages will be turned in to the front office and used for verification and auditing purposes.
  2. Students may not volunteer on your behalf. (Students in grades 6-8 will get credit for services hours using a separate process.)
Hardships / Exemptions
 
Although it is always preferable that families complete required volunteer hours, we recognize that sometimes this is not possible. Hardships and exemptions need to be discussed with the principal and will be addressed on an individual basis. If approved, please submit a Parent Volunteer Exemption Form to [email protected] using the form below.

Volunteering in any of these areas will assist you in fulfilling your parents’ hours. (30 hours for 2 parent households and 15 hours for 1 parent household.) Families that do not volunteer for the required hours will be assessed a fee of $35 per hour for unfulfilled hours prior to registration for the new school year. What constitutes parent hour is at the discretion of the administration.
