Service Hours

Family Service Hours Program & Volunteer Opportunities

Holy Trinity is fortunate to have parents with wonderful talents and resources. We welcome your gift of time and talent in participating in our students’ educational experience.

REQUIREMENTS

Each family is responsible for 15 hours of service per school year. Single-parent families and families with a spouse deployed through the military are responsible for 7.5 hours of service. Extended family such as grandparents, aunts, and uncles may serve. At the close of the school year, for every hour NOT served, a fee of $20.00 per hour will be assessed. Final report cards will be withheld until the requirements are met. The Family Service Hours contract is part of the mandatory school forms that must be completed online the summer before the school year begins.

 

TRACKING

Families can track their hours in the Parent Portal through the Google Sheet. A school or HTSA representative will have a sign-in sheet for each activity. We will only track hours from these sheets. Hours will not be credited unless the sign-in sheet is completed.

Examples of activities to earn service hours

  • Chaperoning a field trip 
  • Working an HTSA event (e.g., Fall Festival, Movie Night)
  • Assisting with library
  • Assisting with Primary School lunches
  • Assisting with the Scholastic Book Fair
  • Packing canned goods and delivering to local shelters
  • Teacher Appreciation Week activities
  • Coordinating HTSA or class fundraising activities
