All families attending St. Raphael School are required to perform 40 hours of service each school year. 

Special arrangements are made for single parent families. 

Any and all hours you volunteer count. 

Service hours are all tracked on our schools online SchoolSpeak portal! 

Service to the school can be done in many ways:

• Working at school events like the Halloween Dance, Back-to-School Picnic, Annual Auction and Dinner Dance, etc.
• Helping teachers with special projects
• Volunteering in the classroom
• Driving on field trips
• Helping with special projects around the school
• Performing Yard Duty
• Hot Lunch volunteers
• Serving as a Room Parent, an Officer of the PTG Board or as a member of the Principal's Advisory Committee
• Pro-rated hours will be computed for families who join the school mid-year.

How do I find volunteer opportunities?:

Please check the weekly bulletin because most opportunities are posted there first. Check with your room parent for classroom volunteer opportunities and finally check in the Office on the bulletin board.

Should I stop counting at 40 hours?:

No! Please track and turn in all hours even if you have over 40 hours.

Saint Raphael School is eligible for grants based upon family involvement, so all your work counts!
