Parent Service Hours

With a school of our size, we need every family to volunteer their time and talents.  Parent Service Hours allow for adequate staffing of PTO sponsored events and other programs that benefit our school while helping to keep tuition costs down.  It also helps create a family atmosphere that makes Saint Benedict special.

We therefore ask all Saint Benedict families to perform a minimum of 20 service hours throughout the school year. Any parent, legal guardian, grandparent or immediate family member over the age of 18 years of age may volunteer in fulfillment of this obligation. Current students at the school cannot participate in this program. All volunteers who will be working with or near children in the school MUST meet the requirements of the Diocesan Safe Environment Program.
