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 hours of 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
Is time a family member spends at school or school events that promote San Xavier Mission School.
Time can be purchased at $10.00 an hour. If a family cannot physically come to the school or school functions.
Can include the donation of items to support fundraising activities. A receipt must be attached to the volunteer page to be considered part of ‘community building time’.
Donations of items should not be the only way a family fulfills the community building time requirement.
 
The Community Building Notebook is available in the office for parents signing in/out during an event.
