Family Service Hours

The St. Jude School service commitment program was created to help meet the
needs of the school through total involvement of the parents. The program is
crucial to meeting the needs of our parochial school and in keeping tuition costs
as low as possible. All school families are required to donate a minimum of 30
hours per school year. The program runs from June 1 through May 31, although
the activities run at different times. For families of an 8th grade student, required
hours must be met prior to graduation day.

The Service Commitment Program is a part of each family’s tuition agreement.
Any family that has not met required service hours, who does not wish to, or is
unable to participate in the program, will be assessed $10 for each uncompleted
commitment hour. It is each family’s responsibility to seek out opportunities and
verify with service hour coordinators as to the accuracy of their reported hours.
Families may now report service hours online. Please keep paper copies to help clarify any technical problems.

Please refer to the Student Handbook for specific rules concerning the application and recording of service hours.
