PAC Community Building Hours 2020-20201
Parents/Guardians are a valuable resource to our school. Service hours are a vital part of school life. They help build community and parent involvement; two cornerstones of Catholic education. Your participation also demonstrates to your child how important his/her education is.
Each family at San Xavier Mission Catholic School is responsible for
30 hoursof community building during the school year; 15 hours per semester. It is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to record and notify the school office when any or all
required community building hours are completed.
Community Building

Time can be purchased at $10.00 an hour. If a family cannot physically come to the school or school functions.

Donations of items should not be the only way a family fulfills the community building time requirement.
