Parent Hour Opportunities

Parent Participation Guidelines

  1. Each family must contribute a minimum of 10 hours per school year.
  2. A parent hours tally sheet reflecting your year-to-date total will be kept on file at the front desk.
  3. Hours must be entered on a tally sheet only (you may obtain one from the front desk) and submitted by the 20th of each month. Keep a copy for your records. Hours will not be accepted after two months from the date of service.
  4. Parents should make every effort to work throughout the year. Families must complete 1/2 of their commitment (5 hours) by February 1st. Families failing to achieve their minimum hoursby this date shall receive a letter informing them of their deficiency.
  5. All 10 hours must be turned in by May 20th. If you have arranged to help with end of the year activities (those taking place after 5/20), please make a note on your last tally sheet. Include the name of the activity, the date, how many hours you will be working, and a staff signature.
  6. Up to 6 of your 10 hours may be contributed through donations. Donations are calculated at a rate of $15.00 per hour. You may either pay directly for your hours, donate items needed for class supplies, or a combination of the two. Attach your receipt to your monthly tally sheet and you will be credited 1 hour per $15 spent.
  7. Hours may not be transferred or given to another family.
  8. If you are unable to work during your designated time, PLEASE call the PACT and leave a message for the person expecting you.
  9. New students will have their hour obligation pro-rated (5 hours per semester or 2.5 hours per quarter).
