Family Involvement and Volunteering
Parent involvement is a fundamental and required component of the success of the Community School. Parents enhance the quality of the program by giving their time and talents while assisting faculty in the everyday logistics of school life. Each family is expected to commit 70 volunteer hours per school year, divided between supporting the classroom and support for fundraising/associated activities.
Parent involvement may be fulfilled in many different ways that meet both the needs of the program and the interests of the parents. Each family is responsible for scheduling and participating in the program, no matter what their financial commitment is to the School. Trainings and resources will be available for parent-help and fundraising jobs.
Our Volunteer Handbook gives a good overview of classroom volunteering at MVCS.
This Volunteer Jobs Menu shows many of the ways families can be involved and fulfill volunteer hours requirement.
