Parent Involvement

Parent Involvment Program

Holy Spirit Catholic School requires 20 hours of parent involvement as part of having a child enrolled at Holy Spirit. For families that only have a Pre3 or 4K child – only 10 hours. Research has proven that parent involvement and student achievement go hand in hand. Parents may choose to pay the fee or give 20 hours of their time to Holy Spirit. As a family, parents/guardians are billed $100 ($50 if you only have a Pre3 or 4K child) as parent involvement fee. This fee may be "worked off" through volunteer activities ($5.00 per hour). Parents are responsible for keeping track of the hours they work and hours are credited on a quarterly basis. Please provide all dates, be specific in the details, and turn them into the office. Parents and families have many opportunities to get involved at Holy Spirit School!

Volunteer Parent Log 

Before you volunteer, you need to complete VIRTUS® Protecting God's Children Adult Awareness Sessions. These approximately three-hour classes are offered at different times and parishes. CLICK here to find out when and where the next classes are scheduled. A copy of your completed training and background check must be on file with the school office before you may volunteer.

Home & School

Home and School is our “Parent Organization” here at Holy Spirit School.  As a parent, you are automatically part of Home and School. Our purpose is to create a successful partnership between parents and school, so together we can help provide a quality education for all children at Holy Spirit School.

Throughout the year, we ask for volunteers to help with special events and fundraising. All profits from these events and fundraisers are used to fulfill extra needs of the school and teachers which are not covered by the school budget.

We appreciate all of our volunteers because without you this could not be done!

Education Committee

The Education Committee is an advisory committee to the pastor and principal that assists in accomplishing the educational mission within the overall objectives of the parish.  The Education Committee consists of parents and/or parish members who are also part of another committee and serves as a liaison to the Education Committee.  The Education Committee typically meets on the third Tuesday of the month, with July off.  Members serve in three year terms.  Below are the Education Committee members, their liaison committee, and their contact info.
