Family Service Program

In accordance with the Notre Dame tradition of service and family, the school asks for the involvement of each student’s family in various activities that serve the needs of the school and help to build a sense of community.

• Each family is expected to perform volunteer service for the benefit of Notre Dame and its programs. Families must complete at least 20 service hours during the 2018-2019 school year,  from June 1, 2018, through May 11, 2019.  Excess hours accrued in one year do not carry over to a subsequent year.
• Any member of a family, 14 years of age or older, may earn service hours. Students may not count Family Service Hours towards the fulfillment of a Notre Dame High School Service Learning Project nor Notre Dame Work Grant hours
• Hours are not transferable between families nor are hours done for other, local schools.
• Each family is responsible for keeping a record of hours and for submitting the log sheet to the  Main Office by the announced due dates in order to receive credit for their hours.
• Live Scan Fingerprinting and Shield the Vulnerable Certificate are required for all volunteers working directly with students. Live Scan and Shield the Vulnerable information can be found on the Notre Dame website at www.notredamesalinas.org.

 
The  Family Service  Log  Form  will be submitted twice during the 2018-2019  school year.                            The first submission date is January 15, 2019, the second is May 11, 2019.
 
As the total 20 hours are completed, please submit the forms to the Main Office. Families who have not met the minimum hourly requirement by May  11, 2018, will be sent a preliminary invoice for unfulfilled hours at a rate of $20 per hour.
