PARENT PARTICIPATION PROGRAM
Parent volunteers are a HUGE blessing to our church and school! We ask that each family contribute hours to church and/or school activities. Most of the participation hours may be in any activity that will benefit one of the schools (ECEC, Elementary, and SAC) or church. The areas listed below have specific hour requirements. The opportunities include many areas of service during the day, evenings, and weekends. Ways to help are typically listed in the weekly  Lion's  Tale. Many teachers have specific sign-ups for areas of help needed for the classroom. The person donating the hours may include parents, grandparents, guardian, or family member over the age of eighteen. Each family is asked to contribute hours two parent families are asked to complete 40 hours during the school year - 20 each semester, single parent families are asked to complete 20 hours during the school year - 10 each semester. Service hours not completed by the end of each semester will be billed at a rate of $10.00 per hour. Those families with 8th graders will be billed at the end of the first semester and the last day in May. If you do not complete the required hours for the first semester, but complete them in the second semester, your account will be credited. If you have any questions, please check the Handbook on
Zion's website at  www.zionanaheim.org or contact the school office at  714-535-3600 ext 100.
