| 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.
