In order to receive credit for your volunteer activity, please report your activity by completing volunteer sheets (available in the office) and returning to the school office as volunteer activities are completed. These activities will be recorded by the school in order to ensure families who complete their three volunteer activities do not incur the $300 fee at the end of the academic year. Please retain the PAC welcome letter to ensure you have PAC’s contact information in a convenient location throughout the year in the event you have any questions. ***Please do not wait until the end of the year to begin completing your hours; most fundraising activities are completed by March and opportunities to fulfill volunteer hours will be limited after March***
