Parent's Service Hours
In the Roman Catholic tradition, service is one of our most important products. St. Albert School upholds this tradition. Therefore, as an expression of the school’s philosophy which places parents as the primary educators of their children, each parent is required to perform Service Hours. Please keep in mind, when volunteering in the classrooms, that confidentiality is always kept in the highest regard to insure that there is complete privacy of our parents, students, and staff. Each single parent family agrees to donate 15 hours of volunteer service to the school. Each two-parent family agrees to donate 30 hours of volunteer service to the school.
When parents perform volunteer work for the school, they must sign in at the volunteer office to record all their volunteer work. Parents are responsible for documenting the hours of service they provide to the school, indicating the nature of the work performed, day, and time spent performing the work. Un-served volunteer hours are billed to each family during the month of May at the rate of $10.00 per hour. Any amount of money families pay for un-served service hours is not tax deductible, as it is part of their tuition contract. Parents can perform service hours in a number of ways, including, but not limited to:
1. Providing teachers and the school with needed materials
2. Assisting with Parish and School events
3. Attend a minimum of 5 PTO meetings
4. Serving on a subcommittee of the School Board
5. Assisting with the hot lunch program (lunchroom volunteer sign-up link)
6. Assisting on field trips
7. Working in the school library
8. Performing various types of maintenance or cleaning at the school
9. Participate in fund raising events
As a service to parents a letter will be sent to each family in January detailing the number of service hours donated to date, and the number of service hours left in order to fulfill their contract.
