2007 - 2008 School Year Volunteer Hours All students and parents are required to complete monthly volunteer hours. Students are required to complete 5.0 hours per month and parents are required to complete 2.0 hours per month. Hours can be earned by volunteering for school related activities, helping a non-profit organization, working on community projects, etc. Hours do not count if you receive money for the work that you have done. Hours are to be turned in to the school by the 5th day of each month for the preceding month. Parents may also contribute goods or services in lieu of volunteer hours. All goods and services need to be approved prior to donation by the school Principal. For every fifteen dollars ($15) in goods or services that are donated, parents will receive a credit of one volunteer hour. Committee Chairpersons that are working on different projects for the school are listed on the school website. Contact them directly for volunteer opportunities. Periodically volunteer information is also listed on the website and sent to parents in school emails. Extreme Eagle Team - Volunteer Hours Volunteer hours are one of the many categories that a student needs to achieve in order to be part of the Extreme Eagle Team. Volunteer hours for the Extreme Eagle Team are treated different from the volunteers hours listed above in that students need to have a set amount of hours completed and turned into the school by the schedule listed below (not on a monthly basis or by the 5th of the month). Volunteer hours for this program are cumulative, so if a student does not qualify for one quarter, they will need to have the total amount of volunteer hours that are listed completed in order to be eligible for the next quarter. If a student does not turn in their volunteer hour forms by the due date, then they are not eligible for the Extreme Eagle Team for that quarter. No exceptions! 1st Quarter Total Hours = 5.0 Hours Due by End of Day - October 18, 2007 2nd Quarter Total Hours = 17.5 Hours Due by End of Day - January 11, 2008 3rd Quarter Total Hours = 27.5 Hours Due by End of Day - March 20, 2008 4th Quarter Total Hours = 37.5 Hours Due by End of Day - April 30, 2008
