Volunteer Requirements
St. Catherine School requires that each K-8 family provide 40 service hours (20 hours for single parent families) to the school in order to contain the costs while strengthening the sense of school community by involving parents in the life of the school. 5 of the total 40 hours are required to be given to the annual auction.
​
Recording Volunteer Hours
Each family must track their service hours on the volunteer hours reporting form and return the form to the school office by May 16th, 2025 for hours completed between July 2024-June 2025. In the event the service hours are not fulfilled, each family is responsible for the unfulfilled portion of the hours at a rate of $30/hour, which will be charged via their Billing Management account.
