Each family is required to complete a minimum of 40 volunteer hours per year; 5 hours of which must be for the Christian Service Program. A maximum of 10 hours can be claimed for Parish activities.

Special circumstances, such as single parent families, may allow for varied hour requirements. Please contact the school office for more information: 818-889-9483.

As part of the tuition structure at SJS, parents support the school through service.   Our school’s mission is “forming young people in the image of Jesus,” your presence at school events and activities is one way to show your love and encouragement.   We value you as parent volunteers, and appreciate your dedication to the children as supportive aides, role models, and mentors.

All parents who will be volunteering on campus or attending field trips are required to be fingerprinted and complete the VIRTUS program and periodic renewals as part of the LA Archdiocese’s Safe Guard the Children Program.  Additional requirements are in place for coaching or attending Junior High overnight field trips.  Please see the SJS Parent Handbook or visit our website for more information.

We understand it can be hard for many families to complete their hours due to life's demands. The payoff price for all volunteer hours is $25 per hour not completed.
