Parent Volunteerism
Parent volunteerism is an invaluable part of our success! We are running a pilot program this year to track these efforts, and offer families tuition credits at the end of the year, which will go towards their tuition for the following school year.
Please use this record-keeping form to submit your volunteerism activities.
Tuition credits will be communicated to families by June of the current school year and reflected on their July 15th tuition invoice for the following year.
