The St. Anthony of Padua School Parent Participation Program (PPP) is an essential component of our school’s day-to-day operation and helps create an efficient and nurturing environment for our children. This program also keeps our tuition rates reasonable, builds community and is one of the ways parents can share in their children’s experiences at our
school. We encourage parents to take an active role in our school, and we appreciate your support.
- Each family who has opted-in for this program needs to complete 40 PPP hours AND attend at least TWO Parent Enrichment Talks offered during the school year.
- Uncompleted hours will be charged at a rate of $15.50 per hour. There will be a charge of $38.75 per missing Parent Enrichment Talk.
- Families have an option to opt out (not participate) in the Parent Participation Program and are required to pay a $700 non-participation fee.
PARENT VOLUNTEER WEBSITE
Our Parent Volunteer Website (OnVolunteers) makes it easy for parents to participate in PPP. There is no fee for parents to use this system. Each family will have their own unique password-protected website, aka ‘Parent Portal’.
From within your own portal, you will be able to:
- Easily view and quickly sign up for available volunteer tasks.
- Automatically track the tasks you have signed up for or have been assigned. You do not have to manually submit service hours for volunteer positions (the software tracks it for you).
- Know your real-time service hours total (pending or verified), any time.
- Receive/send messages from and to the Service team regarding service-related matters
- Read PPP Announcements
- Watch “How-To” Videos which demonstrate all aspects of the website.
It is suggested that you regularly log in to the Parent Volunteer Website to not miss volunteer opportunities that you can conveniently complete.
