In order for us to be successful we need your participation. It is mandatory for each family to complete a minimum of 25 hours of volunteer service this school year. Any amount less than 25 hours completed will be billed out at $25/per hour at the close of the school year.
Family Service Hours FAQ
How do my service hours get recorded?
There are a few ways to get your hours recorded. Please make sure that you have completed one of the following forms each time you volunteer. Remember it is your responsibility to track and turn in your service hours.
1.) Classroom Volunteer Log– In each classroom there is a volunteer sign-in sheet that you should sign and track all of your classroom hours, including field trips, misc. teacher help, class parties, and room parent asst. room parent duties. These logs will be turned into the office by the teacher or room parent each month.

Why are service hours so important?
It takes a lot to keep our school operating and volunteer/service hours do help keep our tuition costs down. Even more important, we are all members of the OLM school community and with your participation in school functions, all of us benefit. We believe that family involvement is critical to the success of our children and our program is designed to encourage a sense of responsibility to the community, compassion for those in need, and commitment to living out the message of Jesus.
