SERVICE HOURS FAQ’S How many service hours do I have to
serve?
Each family is required to serve 20 hours.
These hours may be served by anyone in the immediate family, including
parents, grandparents, step-parents, aunts and uncles.
How do I keep track of my hours?
Tracking sheets are available online or in the school office. There are two forms available.
One form is intended for committee chairs to make available at events.
The other form is for keeping track of individual hours. How often can I turn my hours in?
The office will accept forms anytime.
The hours will be tallied at the end of each month and reports of
completed hours will be sent home with the youngest child’s report card
beginning with the 1st quarter of the 08-09 school year. Who is authorized to sign for
service hours served?
Anyone who can verify that you served the hours stated is authorized to
sign for service hours. For example, committee chairpersons can sign for hours
served by the people on their committee or for volunteers at their event;
teachers and secretaries can sign for hours served in the classroom and lunch
volunteers; the athletic director can sign for hours served by coaches, etc…
Where can I find opportunities for
service hours?
Various
service hour opportunities are listed on the school website.
In addition to the website, look for opportunities to be listed in the
school’s Thursday letter. If
you don’t see a particular event or opportunity listed on the website or in
the Thursday letter, you may check with the Family Service Hour Coordinator
listed below to see if it qualifies for service hours.
Opportunities are everywhere! If I am the chairperson of a
committee or event what are my responsibilities?
You should get the tracking form off of the website for committees and
make sure that it is available at your meetings and events for people to sign
in. Afterwards, please sign
the form to verify that everyone was present during the times listed and turn
the form into the office. How can I find out if my event
qualifies for service hours and/or recruit volunteers?
Contact the Family Service Hours coordinator listed below to find out if
your event qualifies. The
coordinator will also be able to get your event listed on the website and in the
Thursday letter as a service hour opportunity. When can service hours be served?
Service hours may be served at any qualifying event or meeting from May 1st
through April 30th for the following school year.
Are service hours transferrable to
another family?
No, service hours are not transferrable.
Any hours that you serve may only be used by your immediate family. What if I will not be able to
complete 20 service hours?
If you are not be able to complete 20 service hours for the school year,
the service hours may be purchased at a rate of $20 per hour.
If you cannot afford to purchase the remaining service hours, the
requirement may be waived by submitting a request to Fr. Hoefler.
All waivers must be approved by Fr. Hoefler. Can I pay for all of my service
hours?
Yes. If you would prefer to
pay for your family’s service hours rather that serve them, you may submit a
check to the school anytime from May 1st to April 30th for
$400. Do my student’s service hours
count for family service hours?
No, service hours assigned to students do not count toward family service
hours. Family service hours are to
be served by adults. FAMILY
