SPX School Advisory Council 2012-2013

Meeting dates for 2012-2013

We are parents. The St. Pius X School Advisory Council is an organization made up of school parents/guardians/grandparents who work closely with the pastor and school administration for the betterment of the school. This group helps to form the vision, find solutions to issues and celebrate the achievements of our school. Each spring applications are accepted to replace members rotating off the council.

The Council was established to perform three primary responsibilities:

An important part of participating in the school is our Family Service Policy. Below is a summary of that policy:

As we all know, parents and teachers work together for the benefit of all our children who attend St. Pius X School. A key factor in achieving this goal is parental involvement. Volunteer service also contributes to the fiscal soundness of our school. Your decision to send your children to St. Pius X shows your commitment to provide them with a quality education in a faith-based environment.
With this in mind, St. Pius X School has instituted a Family Service Program (formerly the Family Participation Policy) to encourage and promote volunteerism at our school. The expectation is that each family will commit to a minimum of 25 service hours each school year. Of the 25 hours required, it is mandatory that 10 hours be served in the school cafeteria or playground from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm.

• By August 15th of each year, all families must pay the cafeteria/playground fee of $80.00. Once you have completed your 10 hours of service in the cafeteria/playground, a reimbursement check for $80.00 will be sent to you upon request.
• The remaining commitment of 15 hours for the school year can be met in numerous ways. Please look over the enclosed Service Commitment Form and decide where your time and talents may be best utilized. We can provide a place or an opportunity for you to contribute to the success of our school. If a family is unable to contribute their 15 service hours, a fee of $120.00, payable by approximately February 23 of each year (the end of School Registration period) will be required.
• If you decide you do not want to work your 25 service hours, you may pay the $200.00 fee by August 15th of each year. (Total of the above mentioned fees.)
