Service Log Download 2023-2024 School Year
It is our goal at Our Lady Queen of Peace to provide your children with the finest education possible. We strive to help them not only in scholastic achievement, but in their spiritual, social, and physical growth as well. While we have a fine and dedicated staff, parents also provide a vital service to our school.
In an effort to keep costs down and promote a more even distribution of the parental workload, we utilize a Parent Service Hours Program. In this program, parents will provide hours of service throughout the year from their choice of activities ranging from library helper to serving as a PSA officer. It should be noted that all four Catholic schools in our area require families to complete service hours.
Service hours are required for families whose children attend Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic School. Your dedication in achieving these service hours helps to ensure that the tuition at Our Lady Queen of Peace remains affordable.
PreK/4 through 8th grade families are required to volunteer at least 20 hours and PreK/3 a minimum of 10 hours between May 1 and April 30 each school year. You will be responsible for payment of $25.00 per hour that is not served as of April 30th. The hours are per family which includes grandparents, aunts, uncles and siblings as long as they have attended a Protecting God’s Children Workshop.
