Volunteering at St. Cecelia School

One of the greatest ways you can help St. Cecelia School and our children is by volunteering. Parent Involvement has a positive relationship to school success. Parents who volunteer have the opportunity to make friendships and build our school community, together. This page contains all necessary forms and links to help you with the parent involvement process.

Each Family’s Commitment to St. Cecelia School

Each Pre-K3 through 8th grade family, single or dual parent, is responsible for 24 Mandatory Hours of Service (MHS).

  • Complete a minimum of 24 hours per family, each school year. 
    • 10 hours must be earned by selling 30 Crusader Cash Raffle Tickets.
    • 2 hours must be earned by attending the Fall and Spring Mandatory H&S Meeting.
  • Contribute to the school community in a positive and meaningful way.
  • Meet the obligation of 24 MHS or pay $50 for each hour not fulfilled.

Volunteer Opportunities

There are dozens of events and opportunities throughout the year at St. Cecelia School.

Join a Home & School Committee

We have over 20 H&S committees. Login to the Parent Portal to find out how you can help.

Read the Crusader Newsletter and School Emails

Many volunteer opportunities are advertised each Friday in the Crusader Newsletter. Also, “All-school” emails will be sent with specific event info.

 

You will be invited to use Sign Up Genius to “sign up” for many events.

Wish Points & Teacher Requested Donations

If you are unable to volunteer, one option is to donate “Wish Points” to a teacher. You may purchase wish points for $50. Use the GREEN FORM to document your donation. The teacher will use the money for classroom supplies.

 

Sometimes teachers will request items for the classroom. If you purchase teacher requested items, you will need to complete the GREEN FORM, attach the receipt and get the teacher’s signature.

 

You must also enter the amount of the donation $50 = 1 hour of volunteer time in the Volunteer Hours Form

Attend Both Mandatory H&S Meetings

During each school year our Home & School Association will host a fall and a spring meeting. You will earn one hour per meeting per family. Please plan to attend one in the Fall and one in the Spring.
