Purpose

Blazer Block is similar to a homeroom for students at GMC. We have 1 more semester together and only 1 more SLC. 

We have two more SLCs each year: one is in October and the second is at the end of March/beginning of April! Please let me know if I can help you in any way. My email is listed on bottom of each page. 

 Student Service Hours - Log in your BB Slideshow

Students are required to complete 50 hours of service to the school and community each year, accumulating 200 hours before graduation.  

• No more than 20 hours can be done at or for Greer Middle College.  Students may use NO MORE than 1/2 of the total hours from any single event.  For example, a week-long mission trip to Peru counts for no more than 25 hours.

• Community service must be activities done in the community.

• Babysitting does not count for credit unless the student is helping a community family (not their own family) in need and they are not being compensated.

• No service hours may be counted if the service was done for one’s immediate family.

•  No service hours may be counted if student is paid for the service.

• All service hours must be signed by the supervisor in charge and the student’s advisor.  Forms will not be accepted if they are not signed.

• Students cannot purchase any books or supplies in exchange for service hours.

• Students may NOT count carpooling as service hours unless approved by the administration at the beginning of the year or before any carpooling has begun.

• Students may help a student with their Senior Project and accumulate GMC hours only (no more than 20).    Seniors may not count any service hours related to his/her Senior Project.

 Parent Service Hours

Parents are required 36 hours per year, per family.  Students may not participate in extra-curricular activities or participate in graduation if parent service hours are not completed. 

• Generally, Parent Community Service Hours must be done at the school or for the school.  However, there are occasions that we need help in the Greer community and those hours count for service.  These opportunities will be clearly defined in the request sent from the school.

• Parents may log service hours for attending school meetings (one hour for each meeting).  New Student Orientation, Open House, Parent Meetings, College Informational Meetings, Meet and Greet Board Candidates, Voting in Board Election, etc.

• Parents do receive hours for carpooling.

• Charter Barter:  Parents may "buy out" their hours through monetary or supply/equipment donations.  $10 = 1 hour.
