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.
