Parents at Galt Christian School get involved and work together with students, teachers, support staff and administration bringing glory to God in the school\u2019s daily activities.\u00a0 We believe that volunteering is spiritually rewarding and the Parent Volunteer Program (PVP) was designed to encourage parent participation in their student\u2019s education.<\/p>\n

Galt Christian School has instituted a service requirement for the parents\/guardians of our school students. This program results in hundreds of hours of volunteer service. It benefits the school, as well as our students and staff, in many ways. It also allows for the development of new friendships not only between teacher and parents, but also among parents.\u00a0In addition, educational costs are reduced as programs are supported through this involvement.<\/p>\n

Opportunities to volunteer on campus abound!\u00a0\u00a0Parents are encouraged to seek out opportunities to serve at the start of the school year and begin \u2018clocking\u2019 hours as the year continues.\u00a0Ask your\u00a0student’s teachers and office staff\u00a0where you can get involved.\u00a0 There are opportunities to earn PVP hours during the school day, in the evenings,\u00a0and on weekends.<\/p>\n

Required Hours<\/strong><\/p>\n

Final due date for PVP hours are normally due one week before school ends.\u00a0 Please check your PVP Hour Tally Card for specific dates. \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Each family is required to volunteer a certain number of hours each school year.<\/p>\n

Incomplete hours will be billed to family accounts at\u00a0$10 per hour.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Required Hours for\u00a0Later\u00a0Registration<\/strong><\/p>\n

For families who join GCS later in the year, please calculate required hours as follows:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Count the number of months remaining in the school year through May (10 months max).\u00a0 Multiply that number by 1.0 for single parent families or 2.0 for two parent families.<\/p>\n

Example:\u00a0 A two-parent family begins in December.\u00a0 There are 6 months left in the school year (December \u2013 May).\u00a0 Multiply 6 x 2.0 = 12 hours.<\/em><\/p>\n
