Every family enrolled at Sacred Heart School is required to volunteer their time and talent through our service credit program. There are numerous opportunities throughout the year to earn service credits including: fundraisers, serving on the School Council, attending Parent Teacher Council (PTC) meetings, and donating your time and services to improve our campus.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the service credit program is to involve ALL parents and guardians of our students in the support and enrichment of the school’s educational program. Your support helps to maintain and improve the quality of educational programs and facilities through volunteer opportunities and successful fundraising events.
REQUIREMENTS
Each family is required to earn 30 service credits during the school year as follows:
15 service credits in the fall semester
15 service credits in the spring semester
Any adult family member is eligible to participate in fulfilling the service credit requirements. They must complete the Virtus online training and background check to participate.
Any person volunteering for service credits must sign in and out at the event to ensure the appropriate credit is awarded.
One hour of time volunteered is equivalent to one service credit.
One service credit will be awarded for every $25.00 worth of items purchased off of a teacher’s Amazon Wishlist.
In lieu of volunteering to earn service credits, a family can elect to pay a service credit fee each semester for service credits not earned. The fee will be invoiced at the end of each semester.
FEE SCHEDULE
0 service credits earned = $1,500 per semester
1 - 5 service credits earned = $100 each for remaining credits not earned
6 - 10 service credits earned = $50 each for remaining credits not earned
11 - 14 service credits earned = $25 each for remaining credits not earned
Service credits will be maintained by the school office in the RenWeb portal.
