Parent Hours

Parent Participation Program

The Parent Participation Program policy requires that each family contribute 25 hours of service per school year. Every family is responsible for completing these hours, and, at the end of the school year, any family who has not fulfilled all their hours must pay the difference between the hours worked and the 25 hour commitment at a rate of $15.00 per hour. Please note: Parent Participation hour requirements will be reevaluated and possibly adjusted as we assess the COVID-19 limitations.

We recognize that the pandemic will make it difficult to fulfill hours as we have in the past; therefore, we are providing more opportunities for tasks that can be completed at home. Grandparents and family friends can also earn family hours.

Ways to earn Parent Participation Hours:

• Check your emails. Volunteer opportunities will be posted in the E-news and your child’s teacher(s) will also email opportunities as they arise.
• Attend PTF Meetings to learn about upcoming events and volunteer opportunities; receive one hour for each meeting attended.
• Refer a friend to Shalom School! Parents can earn 5 hours if the friend tours and an additional 10 hours if they enroll.
• Purchase requested supplies from teachers - $15 = 1 hour. Purchases must be approved in advance.

The Parent Participation Program has been an important part of Shalom School for years and has helped to increase family involvement, build community, enhance parent engagements, and strengthen our school. 

Thank you in advance for your time, energy, commitment, and support.
