MANDATORY PARENT SERVICE HOURS
Every family is obligated to pay $625 or volunteer 25 service hours per school year. It is the responsibility of the parent to keep a record of service hours performed. A service hour slip must be obtained from the event chairperson immediately following the activity. All service hour slips are to be submitted by the faculty member, chairperson, etc. within one month of the event or donation. We encourage you to complete ½ of your service hours by the end of the first semester. Freshmen parents are required to work the majority of their hours at the Bingo program. The number of required bingo shifts will be based on the date the registration fee is paid. Families (students in grades 9-12) receiving tuition assistance must volunteer for additional Bingo shifts (1-3 depending on the amount of the assistance). Current year service hours must be fulfilled by the last Friday in March or they will be billed on the April statement.
ATHLETIC/BAND/PEP SQUAD HOURS
Families whose students participate in Athletics, Band, and/or Pep Squad are encouraged to provide service to their son/daughter's team however there are no extra hours required for the parent. Only the mandatory 25 hours are required.

The school reserves the right to dismiss students for inappropriate behavior.
