Lourdes Catholic School recommends all families volunteer at least 10 hours per school year. This commitment is needed to help the school with all of its needs that can’t be fulfilled by regular teachers and staff. It is also needed to promote community and develop relationships between parents, students, teachers, and staff.
Volunteers can help support teachers in the classroom, plan fundraisers for the school, give our children memorable experiences through extracurricular activities, and do various behind the scenes activities. Volunteering engages families in our school and builds a sense of community. See below sign-up geniuses for volunteer opportunities. These sign-up geniuses will be monitored by the H&S Volunteer Coordinators, Lourdes Administrators, Teachers, and Staff.
Based on recommendations from the Lourdes Catholic School strategic planning session in the summer of 2016 the Lourdes Catholic School Home & School Organization and Board of Education have created the 10-hour service guidelines on volunteering. The expectations will be per family. The hours should be divided between parents in separated families with a reduction for single-parent families. Each family has unique situations and will need to consider what they can do. Some families will be able to meet and exceed these recommendations and others with not have the ability to give more than a few hours. If each family does what they can, our school will continue to be able to fulfill our mission of Excellence Rooted in Faith.
