Parent Participation Program (PPP)

The Parent Participation Program (PPP) is designed to engage as many families as possible in supporting school and PTG-sponsored activities. Parent involvement plays a vital role in providing additional services to our school and, more importantly, helps build a strong sense of community for all students and families.

Refer to the Family-Student Handbook for details of the PPP.

General Requirements

  • Each family is required to complete 30 volunteer hours during the school year.

  • Unfulfilled hours will be billed at $25 per hour at the end of the school year.

  • Only adult family members or legal guardians may earn service hours.

To volunteer on campus or during school events:

  • Virtus Training (www.Virtus.org) – valid for 3 years

Volunteer Hours Timeline

  • Service hours may be earned starting the first day of school.

  • All hours must be completed by June 1st of the school year.

  • Note: Families who do not complete or pay for required hours will not be eligible to apply for financial aid the following year until the obligation is resolved.

Unfulfilled Hours

  • A $25/hour charge will be invoiced in June for any incomplete service hours.

  • All fees must be paid before re-registration for the following school year is allowed.

  • Unfulfilled hours also affect financial aid eligibility for the next year.

Penalty for Unexcused Absences

If you’re scheduled to volunteer and do not show up without prior notice:

  • You will be charged $50 per missed hour (up to 2 hours).

  • To avoid penalties, contact the event chairperson or coach at least 12 hours in advance if you can’t attend your scheduled shift.
