Family Service Program
WHAT IS FAMILY SERVICE?
Family Service is a mandatory service program. All families with students enrolled in Elementary and Junior High must contribute a minimum amount of service during the school year. Parents will choose from a predetermined list of service opportunities.
WHY SHOULD CCS HAVE A FAMILY SERVICE PROGRAM?
CCS is committed to supporting families who have entrusted their children to our care. The family service policy helps to readily identify areas in which parents are able to serve. Most significantly, it allows us to build a stronger community as we work together.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Families indicate which service opportunities they wish to perform for the school year from an extensive list of options. Each family is required to turn in a Family Service Contract. Assignments are sent to each family at the beginning of the school year.
HOW MUCH SERVICE IS REQUIRED?
The Family Service annual commitment is to complete one service opportunity, per family.
WHAT IF OUR FAMILY CANNOT COMMIT THE TIME TO VOLUNTEER?
The annual amount for the buyout option is $250.00
WHAT ARE THE SERVICE OPTIONS?
During the summer, parents will be sent a Family Service Program Contract with various service options.
WILL THIS LIMIT SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO DO MORE?
Absolutely not! Many families already serve substantially more than the proposed minimum service. We do not want to discourage participation in any way, but do want other families to experience the benefits of being actively involved in the school community.
