Volunteer Requirement
All Mater Innovation parents/guardians are asked to complete thirty (30) volunteer hours, or the equivalent thereof, per academic year per family. All parents/guardian volunteer hours must be completed prior to the last day of school.
Mater Innovation Academy mandates that all non-employees must be cleared before permission is granted to volunteer. Please contact the school to obtain the procedures for clearance. This mandate includes clearance for volunteers in school events such as book fairs, fundraising activities, field trips, assemblies, and other events. For overnight fieldtrips, additional requirements such as fingerprinting and drug testing will be necessary. Please keep in mind that parents chaperoning fieldtrips must not consume beverages containing alcohol. Children who are not enrolled at Mater Innovation Academy are not permitted on campus during school hours and may not attend school fieldtrips.
It is the responsibility of the parent to communicate with their child’s teacher(s) to complete the hours. Notices of completed hours will be sent every semester. Parents may complete hours by any of the following:
- Field Trip chaperone
- Guest speaker
- Attend Parent Teacher Organization meetings
- Assist with school events
All volunteers must be cleared. In addition, parents/visitors must sign-in at the main office and obtain a visitor’s pass. In order to ensure the safety of all of our students, NO PARENTS/VISITORS WILL BE ALLOWED BEYOND THE MAIN OFFICE WITHOUT A VISITOR’S PASS. NO EXCEPTIONS! ALL VISITORS MUST BE CLEARED!
A volunteer hour log will be included each semester (twice a year) to assist parents in tracking their volunteer hours. In addition, a reminder will be sent during the fourth quarter of the school year to ensure that the volunteer requirement is fulfilled.
