It is the policy of the ASB School Parents’ Association that each family will contribute thirty five service hours to the school each year. These include one hour of traffic duty per child. Additional hours may be given in a variety of ways. Parents, students, other relatives, friends and neighbors may contribute the hours. There are many varied and rewarding service opportunities for you to help. You can find a calling that matches your skills, the level of commitment you can make and your schedule. There are various opportunities available for you: participating on a committee, working with kids in the classroom or on the field or working with school leaders to craft policy.
Under the oversight of the Parent Association ASB School has nearly 40 standing committees (organized into seven groups overseen by the Parent Board) responsible for carrying out specific responsibilities. Each year, the Parent Board recruits individuals to lead these committees. Committee chairs, in turn, are supported by volunteers who sign up at either registration or at the start of the year. The current opportunities are listed to reflect the Parent Board’s oversight structure. The Volunteer Opportunities Form includes a complete description of all service hour opportunities. You may mail the completed form to the School Office or scan and email it to Kathryn Almy.
Please note that the Archdiocese of Seattle requires that all parents whose volunteer roles require unsupervised contact with the children attend a “Called to Protect” class. These classes are offered periodically throughout the year and are promoted in our weekly communications (Wednesday Envelope) with parents. The course is required to be taken once and does not need to be renewed with each school year.
