All Families are members of the PTO

Each family unit is required to complete 20 hours of family service per school year. Family units who do not complete their service hours will be charged $10 per incomplete hour. We highly encourage in-person volunteering at events but hours can also be claimed by donating items or services for events.

The PTO creates SignUpGenius invitations for each event. The information provided will include the number of hours given per slot.

For in-school volunteering, parents must be VIRTUS (LINK) trained.
