St. Joseph's has a strong
and active volunteer program coordinated through
the Home and School Association (HSA).
All St. Joseph's parents automatically
belong to the HSA and are invited to attend
meetings and activities.
The main
function of the HSA is to organize the school's
volunteers and fund-raising efforts.
All
volunteers who work with our students will be
required to attend a “Safe Environment Workshop”
and have a criminal background check and of
course, the utmost confidentiality is expected.
All
profits from the fund-raising projects are used
for operating expenses of the school.
The parents of St. Joseph's students make a significant contribution to the smooth functioning and available resources of our school. Parental presence, involvement and confidentiality are extensive and greatly appreciated by the students, staff, and School Board. As a result of the great visibility of our parents on campus and at community attended events, it is imperative that our presence at all times be directed toward meeting the needs of our children and staff and be representative of the religious philosophy of our school.
How many volunteer hours are required each school year?
Each family is expected to
give at least 20 hours of service to the school
during the year.
The burden of support becomes very easy
and effective when everyone contributes in this
way. A
database
of volunteer hours is kept in order to help the
HSA prioritize their efforts.
Each
family receives a volunteer hour summary sheet
to keep at home.
All families will be charged $15.00 per
hour for every hour of their volunteer
commitment hours not completed.
