PARTICIPATION POLICY
St. Dunstan Catholic School is a vital organization in the St. Dunstan
Parish Community. For two reasons, we believe it is essential that
all parents of St. Dunstan Catholic School take an active role in
both school and parish activities.
- We
believe that a community of Faith is possible only when all members
take an active role in the concerns of the
parish.
-
We depend on volunteer services from parents in order to keep
the tuition of the school within reason.
Participation
means active service in parish and school activities. Each parent
is asked to determine which needs of the church, parish or school
they are best able to meet and to make arrangements with the groups
involved.
SERVICE HOURS PROGRAM
Each family is required to contribute Service Hours to St. Dunstan Catholic School every year. The requirement is 20 hours for a single-parent home and 40 hours for a two-parent home
Mandatory hours must be completed through the following:
Parish Festival – Two parent household is required to complete at least 6 hours of volunteer work in the Parish Festival. A single parent household is required to complete at least 3 hours.
Lunch Supervision – Each family is responsible to provide at least one lunch supervision (yard duty) per child per class during the school year. (Parents with more than one child in the school shall be required to serve a maximum of two lunch supervisions.) Lunch Supervision assignments shall be divided equally between Grade K to 8 -- each grade shall provide lunch supervision for regular and early dismissal school days (Minimum Days excluded) each year. Two parents per day will provide lunch supervision – one stationed at the North Yard and the other parent at the South Yard – from 11:55 a.m. to 12:40 p.m. Parents must come on their scheduled days OR trade with another family within their class. Parents scheduled for lunch supervision are still required to come even on rainy days. A calendar and sign-up procedure will be provided in advance by the Home Room Parent for each grade.
These service hours must be completed by May 15, 2009. We are appreciative of the many families who serve above and beyond the required service hours. Parents can earn service hours by attending parent organization meetings such as the Women and Men’s Club.
If you plan to contribute time after May 15 of the 2087-2009 school year by working on year-end parties, assisting in a classroom, or taking Athletic Board inventory, for example, you must have your hours listed and signed off on the Service Hours form by the individual to whom the service hours commitment is made and submit your Service Hours form to the school office no later than May 15, 2009 to receive service hours credit for the 2008-2009 school year.
Call the school office for more details. Some
