Volunteer Information

Every family with children enrolled at St. Andrew Catholic School is required to participate in the program by volunteering time for any of the school’s activities and projects. Each hour volunteered is worth one (1) PIP point; each family needs to earn 24 points a year. At least four of these points must be directly related to the annual auction, which is the school’s largest fundraiser.

Any activities that directly benefit St. Andrew Catholic School can be counted. This includes PTO/Booster Club organized or sponsored activities, other school committees (auction, building improvement, publicity), volunteering as a classroom or recess aid, driving for a field trip, or helping in the office or library. If there is any doubt over whether something would qualify for PIP points, please check with the main office. High school aged children are eligible to earn PIP Points for the family only if they are accompanied by their parents at the activity (volunteer activities performed by high school students may be counted as either PIP points or Service Hours, not both).

The “PIP year” begins the first day of June and ends on the last day of May. All points must be recorded by June 15th. Points may not be banked or carried over to the next year, nor may they be transferred to another family. If the PIP commitment is not met, the family will be billed for the unfulfilled points at the end of the year at the rate indicated in the Tuition and Fee Schedule.

Parents may report their points directly to the office. This can be done in person or over email (info@standrewschool.org). To report PIP points, include your family name, description of the activity and the number of hours or points earned for the activity. Please report your PIP promptly.

Families will be sent a statement in December and at the end of the year. If discrepancies arise, please call the Front Office as soon as possible.
