Family Participation Plan
Dear Parents,
Volunteering is a key component in the success of Mary Immaculate Star of the Sea School. We could not function without your involvement.
Below is a list of “opportunities” for getting involved and fulfilling your hours of service. If you would like more information about any of the activities – please call Cindy or Brother Bud in the office at 294-1031. They will put you in touch with the Activity Coordinator for the event you are interested in.
Every family at Mary Immaculate is receiving tuition assistance. The amount charged for tuition does not cover the cost of educating your child. The difference must be made up in fund-raising. Fund-raising is not only necessary but lots of fun and builds wonderful camaraderie among our “school family.”
Every family is required to contribute at least 20 hours of volunteer service per school year.
Each family who receives extra tuition assistance is required to give in service the number of hours necessary to meet tuition agreement amount.
Remember: Volunteer Forms must be filled out and returned before you work.
Log hours into Volunteer Book in the Office. PTSA Meetings Count!
You will receive in the mail or email an accounting of your service at the end of each month.
