​Family Fundraising Obligation (FFO)

Each family is required to raise or contribute $600 annually.  This obligation can be met through participation in designated PTO fundraisers, direct payments, or a combination of both.  The 2024 – 2025 family fundraising obligation must be fulfilled by April 25, 2025. Balances not paid by May 9, 2025, will incur a $50 late fee. 
 
School Improvement Drive
Participation in this drive is required with a minimum gift of $300. Families who are able are asked to contribute more. This gift can be paid over several monthly payments in FACTS or in full by September 13, 2024. All funds are earmarked for a special student-related construction project to improve our students' experience at Our Lady of Grace School.​​

Virtus Training
Every parent/guardian must complete a Safeguard the Children (Virtus) training class before volunteering in any capacity on campus. 

Volunteer Hours
Each family is required to complete 30 volunteer service hours during the school year to be completed by April 25, 2025.  Unfulfilled regular volunteer hours are billable at $75 per hour.  Eight (8) of the 30 hours must be volunteered during the October Family Fun Day and/or Winter Wonderland.   Unfulfilled October Family Fun Day and/or Winter Wonderland hours are billable at $100 per hour and will be billed and must be paid following the close of the Winter Wonderland.  Parents may perform service hours at Our Lady of Grace Parish to a maximum of 15 reported service hours provided that those hours are completed such that a parish staff member can verify those hours. Parents must complete Virtus training before volunteering at the carnival or any other school activity.  There will be no reduction of volunteer hour obligations if there is no valid Virtus certificate on file for a family. Parents and guardians are financially responsible for all unfulfilled volunteer hours. Balances due on incomplete parent volunteer hours must be paid in full by May 9, 2025, to avoid a late fee of $50.
