Volunteer Information

VOLUNTEER SIGN-UP & REPORTING

Each family is required to complete volunteer service annually in support of school activities and events. During registration, parents use a SignUp Genius to review and sign up for volunteer opportunities that are available for the 2022-2023 school year. Some positions - primarily the PGO Executive Board, and Parent Ambassador - require an interest form which can be downloaded here.  The remaining positions are filled on a first-come, first-served basis during registration in early spring using a Sign Up Genius. All positions are subject to administrative approval.

Volunteer shifts completed are self-reported in the Parent Service Reporting section of your FACTS SIS account. Hours and credits will be verified by the event supervisor (ie. committee chairperson, teacher, director). Click Here for instructions.

The selection of volunteer positions or to buy-out must be completed at the time of registration.  Registration will not be considered complete without a volunteer signup.

• If after the registration deadline you want to make changes to your volunteer selection, you must notify the volunteer chair of the change and select a comparable credit alternative at that time. Failure to select an alternative will result in the assessment of the buy-out fee for those credits missed.
• If you select to buy-out at the time of registration, the buy-out fee will be charged through your FACTS account by October 1, 2022. If you choose to change your buy-out selection to volunteering, the change must be made prior to buy-out fee being charged on October 1st.
• All changes or additions to your volunteer positions selections must be made before May 1^st. Any buy-out fees that have been assessed for no-shows will be non-refundable after the June 1^st.
• Please remember to add your volunteer event to your calendar for reminders as the system is not equipped to send out those notifications. Failure to complete your selected volunteer commitment will result in the assessment of the buy-out fee for those credits missed. 

HEALTH & SAFETY GUIDELINES

The health and safety of our students, faculty and volunteers is of utmost importance. All volunteers will be expected to comply with the suggested protections and guidelines of the CDC, State and Diocese. Therefore, the following guidelines are subject to change.

• Per California Department of Public Health and Diocesan guidelines, volunteers who are supporting school functions when students are present (i.e. in-class, coaching, field-trip chaperone) will be required to submit proof of vaccination and must wear masks at all times inside the school building and as required on school field trips. Unvaccinated volunteers, or volunteers who do not submit proof of vaccination, must test negative for COVID-19 within 72 hours prior to a volunteer activity (i.e. field trip chaperone) and provide negative test results to the school. Regularly scheduled volunteer positions (i.e. coach) who have not submitted proof of vaccination must submit negative COVID-19 test results weekly.
  • Should the COVID-19 vaccination or testing requirement be a concern, there are volunteer opportunities that are currently exempt from those requirements. These positions are either take place outdoors or do not have contact with students within the school building. Click Here for a current list of those volunteer opportunities.

All preschool volunteers must have current MMR and TDAP in order to volunteer in the preschool classroom or at any preschool event. Flu shots are highly recommended. We are awaiting direction from the diocese as to the recommendation regarding the COVID vaccine.
