Mandatory Service Hours 

​As parents are the primary educators of their children, it is important that they participate in the educational activities of their children in a variety of ways. Based on your tuition plan, parents are required to serve between 30 – 60 hours each academic year. Parents may earn service hours through a multitude of methods including but not limited to volunteering in the classroom, chaperoning on field trips, assisting with special school events, such as the Halloween carnival, volunteering for the Fiesta, donating specified items to the classroom or school. Only one parent/family member per field trip will receive service hours for their student. If parents are unable to participate in these options, they may elect to buy out of their service hours at a rate of $15 an hour.

All parents/adults who wish to meet service hour requirements on campus or attending a field trip MUST be VIRTUS trained. Volunteers must provide proof of their certification when asked and prior to volunteering. VIRTUS must be updated every three years to stay current.

Please see the appendix for our Safeguard the Children information and Zero Tolerance Policy.   ​


Fundraising Expectation

All families are required to fundraise a certain amount of money to help off-set the cost of educating their child. Based on your tuition plan, parents are required to generate profit for the school each academic year. Fundraising opportunities will be detailed throughout the year. Parents may elect to simply pay the fundraising requirement. One-half of all fundraising will be due prior to the Christmas break. Families who fall short in meeting this requirement in the fall will have the balance added to their FACTS account. In the spring, all accounts must be settled through the office by May 15.

 Parents and students are not permitted to sell or promote products on campus without the permission of the school. ​​
