Immaculate Conception School relies on family involvement to provide the most comprehensive experience for our students. Parents and family members work alongside faculty and staff to support events, recess & lunch supervision, fundraising efforts, tutoring, and other activities throughout the year.
WE BUILD COMMUNITY BY DOING FAMILY SERVICE HOURS:
Each family must work 14** SERVICE HOURS by December 20 & May 20 respectively = 28** total→ Fall service hours include a 3** hour SHIFT AT THE PARISH FIESTA. Incomplete service hours will be charged at current minimum wage twice yearly.
There are additional requirements for those families receiving financial assistance.
2020-21 SCHOOL YEAR: there will only be 25 hours required because the Annual Parish Fiesta is canceled due to COVID-19. 13 hours will be due by December 20, 2020 and 12 hours due by May 20, 2021.
Tracking Requirement
Volunteer hours must be logged by: 1. a signature with time in the volunteer binder in the office, and 2. entering it on the family tab on Gradelink. Both will verified by the faculty or staff member in charge of the event or activity. Tracking sheets can be picked up at the office or at specific events. It is a family's responsibility to ensure hours are verified on Gradelink and turned in to the front office to be logged electronically.
