3 Page 3 of 20 OVERVIEW Holy Spirit Catholic School is a wonderful place for your children to grow both academically and spiritually! The School Administration and PTO continue to believe that parent involvement and participation in School activities is not only a means to show our support for the Faculty and the School, but is absolutely necessary in order to maintain and expand many of the academic and extracurricular services offered by the School to our children. Educational research also demonstrates that children achieve at a higher levels if parents are involved in their child s education. Beginning with the School Year, the Parent School Service Commitment (PSSC) program was instituted at Holy Spirit Catholic School. Under this program, the parents or legal guardians of each Student(s) registered at Holy Spirit Catholic School are required to earn a minimum of 20 hours per family or 10 hours for single parent families; single parent families also include families with a deployed spouse; (the school year is defined as July 1 st through June 30 th ); In addition 6 hours are required for Playground Duty. Playground Duty substitutes may be used and are to be paid as outlined in the Parent-Student Handbook; the use of Playground Duty substitutes does not relieve a family of their remaining 20 hours of school service commitment hours but does fulfill their 6 hours of playground duty. Service opportunities are outlined and described in this Handbook. If a family situation makes completing PSSC hours impossible, please make an appointment to discuss this with the Principal, who has the discretion to excuse or reduce the commitment for families. **Please note that all volunteers coming in contact with students may be required by the Arlington Diocese to undergo a personal background check, be fingerprinted, and complete a VIRTUS child safety training course. To register for an upcoming VIRTUS class entitled Protecting God s Children, please go to VIRTUS training, fingerprinting and background checks must be completed and paperwork submitted to the Arlington Diocese Office of Child Protection.**

4 Page 4 of 20 PARENT SCHOOL SERVICE COMMITMENT (PSSC) PROGRAM GUIDELINES The goal of this program is not to create an additional burden on families, but rather to assist the school, the faculty and the students as we all strive to give our children the best education possible. Thank you for your consideration and understanding----and please feel free to offer any suggestions you have to help make this program run smoothly and effectively. Service hours are earned by participation in any of the activities listed in the Volunteer Opportunities List of this Handbook. This list contains the type of service hours earned for various activities, and estimated time of commitment. Every attempt has been made to include all activities; however, as the school grows additional activities may qualify for PSSC hours. Please feel free to contact the PTO Executive Board to determine if other activities fulfill PSSC requirements. The described time commitments and number of needed people for both Coordinators and Volunteers are guidelines; some activities may require more people or time then listed. Also if you are a PTO Executive Board Member; excluding the Past PTO President; Coordinator (including for an After School Program) or a Homeroom Parent your current year school service commitment hours will be fulfilled. PSSC Family Reports will be used to report hours accrued. Each family is responsible for reporting its own hours of volunteer service. A copy of this form is included. Additional forms may be obtained from the school office or downloaded from the school website. Each family will be responsible for submitting their hours monthly to the PSSC Coordinator or the PTO Vice President for Membership. PSSC Family Reports should be submitted to the PSSC Coordinator or PTO Vice President for Membership monthly; via , Back Pack mail or School Office. All un-fulfilled hours will be assessed a pre-determined dollar amount per missing hour. Any hours over the required amount may not be carried over to the following year and are not transferable to another family. If your PSSC account is not settled at that time, report cards and transcripts will be withheld until the balance of the money or hours have been reconciled. Sincerely, Holy Spirit School Administration and PTO Executive Board
