Families of students are encouraged to volunteer, and we have many opportunities for you to lend a hand -- field trip chaperone, media center assistant, cafeteria monitor, team coach, student reading helper and more.
Volunteers must submit Volunteer Profile and a Background Check authorization forms. To learn more about the process of becoming a volunteer at OLG, contact Jackie Longino at jlongino@olgsch.org.
Greetings, Our Lady of Grace Catholic School Families,
Our Lady of Grace’s school family is made stronger by the involvement of our families in school activities, lessons, and events. We depend on parent involvement (and grandparents!) to continue the excellence in our programs, and research shows that all students benefit from greater parent involvement. In fact, there is no doubt that part of what makes our school unique is the time and talent our families contribute.
Our Diocese provides volunteers with guidelines to ensure our children’s safety. If you would like to volunteer in the upcoming school year, please read and complete the requirements explained below. We greatly appreciate our volunteers and hope you will consider serving our school.
One of our needs for the upcoming school year is for volunteers to serve on our School Leadership Council. This is a great way to get involved as a parent, to get to know other parents from across grade levels, and to participate in the future vision of our school. No experience is necessary, only a passion for our mission and our students. Interested individuals should apply online (coming soon!).
To learn more about available volunteer opportunities, contact us at olgschool@olgsch.org.
Thank you for your continued support of OLG!
Fondly,
Mrs. Catherine Rusch, Principal
