School Operations Support (S.O.S.)

All families are required to give 40 HOURS OF WORK PER YEAR to the school . This helps the school reduce operations costs in order to keep tuition down, and it's a great way for parents to be involved. Unfulfilled work hours will be billed to your account at the end of the year at a rate of $10.00 per hour. Thank you for your help in keeping the school running smoothly. We couldn't do it without you!

Following is a list of jobs to choose from. Mark your first, second and third choices and return this form to the school ASAP. You will receive notice of which choice is your family's job, and you may be called in for a special project for a second or third choice to fulfill the required hours.
