Students must complete a different activity than the one completed for the first semester. Remember that students are only allowed to count one club/sport a year. So students that counted a club/sport for first semester cannot do a club/sport for second semester.

Students have increased flexibility in completing Service as Action activities due to these unprecedented times and should consider any activity that impacts or benefits someone outside of themselves as Service as Action. Students who complete Service as Action activities may list a family member as the supervisor and are to continue to submit their reflection via the SA Reflection Form.
Due to the pandemic, Randolph has also listed some additional ways to participate in Service as Action at home that may include utilizing social media to collaborate with peers as well as to reach out to friends and family members, hosting an outdoor concert through your window, on your driveway, or on your front door step, supporting a family member(s) with their school work, as well as creating masks for family/ friends, participate in a yard clean up, the list of possibilities are endless.
If you have already satisfied the Service as Action activity requirement and have service ideas you would like to share with your peers, please contact Ms. Noboa at dayanarac.noboa@cms.k12.nc.us For questions regarding Service as Action, please contact Dayanara Noboa. Randolph sends many thanks to its families and students for their continued support.
Service as Action is the heart of IB programs at all levels, but we recognize that in-person service may not be possible at this time. We encourage students to complete any service that they can without jeopardizing their own or others' health. Many coordinators have been sharing a variety of service opportunities that can be completed from home, and students are encouraged to check with their coordinators if they find other possible service options.

Los estudiantes deben completar una actividad diferente a la completada durante el primer semestre. Recuerde que los estudiantes solo pueden contar un club / deporte al año. Entonces, los estudiantes que contaron un club / deporte para el primer semestre no pueden hacer un club / deporte para el segundo semestre.

Los estudiantes tienen más flexibilidad para completar las actividades de Servicio como Acción debido a estos tiempos sin precedentes y deben considerar cualquier actividad que impacte o beneficie a alguien fuera de sí mismos como Servicio como Acción. Los estudiantes que completen las actividades de Servicio como Acción pueden incluir a un miembro de la familia como supervisor y deben continuar presentando su reflexión por el Formulario de reflexión de SA.
Debido al la pandemial, Randolph también ha enumerado algunas formas adicionales de participar en Service as Action en el hogar que pueden incluir el uso de las redes sociales para colaborar con sus compañeros, así como para comunicarse con amigos y familiares, organizar un concierto al aire libre a través de su ventana, en su camino de entrada, o en el escalón de su puerta principal, apoyando a un miembro de la familia con su trabajo escolar, así como creando máscaras para familiares / amigos, participando en la limpieza de un patio, la lista de posibilidades es infinita.

What is a Service As Action “activity”?
A Service As Action (SA) activity is anything that benefits other people or groups and for which you do not receive payment or a grade. The activity can be something you do through your school (such as tutoring or campus beautification) or can be something completely separate from your school (such as working with Crisis Assistance Ministry or participating in a neighborhood cleanup).
Service As Action Restrictions
Since the goal of Service As Action is to create a well-rounded student, there are a few restrictions on the activities which you can count for SA:
● You may only count one sport per year (whether that sport is in school or outside of school)
● You may only count one school club per year.
● You may count activities through your place of worship, but you may not count activities that involve teaching your religion or evangelizing others about your religion. (For example, a service project with your church’s youth group would count, but participating in a religious service would not count.)
Please note- The Service Reflection Form may only be accessed through CMS Google accounts. Students need to be logged into their CMS Google in order to access the form.
