Service Hours Program

FAMILY SERVICE PROGRAM

2017/2018

Rational for the Program:

In order to help keep the cost of education down AND to encourage a spirit of volunteerism and support, the PCHS Board established a program in which each family is asked to volunteer eight (8) hours of time to the school.

Implementation Plan:

1. ALL families will be assessed $150.00 at the time of registration. This fee will be included on the registration form and due with the registration payment.

Parents/guardians will have two options regarding your payment:

1. Donate eight (8) hours of labor to the school by June 30, 2018. You will be reimbursed the $150 after your hours are completed. If you do not work eight (8) hours, you will NOT be reimbursed.
2. If you choose not to work your eight hours (as previously indicated on the registration form), the school keeps the money. The money will be used for basic building and grounds upkeep.

1. If you plan to work your Family Service Hours (as indicated at registration on the registration form) you must do one of the following by September 1:
2. Sign up for Eagle Booster concessions (includes Tulip Time).
3. Online signup will become available mid-July via SignUpGenius located on the school’s website. Specific concessions dates will be available on a first come basis or you will have the option of signing up for a season/event without choosing a specific date if your schedule is unknown before September 1. You will get an option closer to the season to sign up for a specific date or have Eagle Boosters sign you up where needed.
4. Contact one of the other committee members below AND the school office if you want to work your (8) hours somewhere other than Eagle Boosters concessions.
5. IMPORTANT: Any parents that have indicated on the registration form that they intend to work their hours but NOT signed up for concessions or made other arrangements by September 1, 2017 will be automatically signed up for open Eagle Booster concessions slots with priority going to those who signed up for the season. You will be responsible for switching with someone else if your date does not work.

1. Concession stand revenue is used to support all departments of the school including the arts, academics, and athletics through annual department requests made by teachers and coaches. Thanks to our many parent volunteers, the 2017/18 Eagle Boosters support totaled over $45,000. Parent involvement is crucial for this support to continue. Thank-you!

1. Parents can volunteer to work one or both of the following:
2. Eagle Booster concessions, including Tulip Time
3. Building Maintenance as requested by the custodians

1. Starting Date: July 1 of each year with the ending date of June 30 the following year. NOTE: No hours can be carried forward to the next year. All hours worked between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018 will be applied to the 2017-18 school year.

1. Parents will check in and check out during the scheduled time with the supervisor in charge.

1. Reimbursement payments will be sent out periodically through out the plan year at the close of each season.

1. Students doing community service are NOT part of this family service program.

Recognizing that this program is specifically for concessions and labor maintenance of our building, it is our prayer that Pella Christian High School will continue to be blessed with volunteer hours offered for other programs of our school.
