Senior Community Service Hours Due Date: April 3
This year all students will be required to complete a required number of community service hours as part of their high school portfolio. The cumulative hour requirement has adjusted for seniors to account for the 2 years of the pandemic. Below are the hour requirements for each grade level.
COMMUNITY SERVICE REQUIREMENT BY GRADE LEVEL
Grade Level Minimum Hour Requirement
9th & 10th grade 10 hours cumulative
11th grade 20 hours
12th grade 25 hours
Community Service Definition:
Community Service is a non-remunerated activity (student cannot receive payment, credit, reward or other compensation for service rendered) whereby a student provides a needed service that directly benefits our community through a professional non-profit organization.
Community Service must take place during non-instructional hours.
*Hours completed for a family member do not count for community service.
How it works:
Students submit a prior approval form to ensure that the community service that they want to perform meets the definition above and will count towards the hours requirement. The approval form is sent via email for students to print out and bring to the event/activity for a supervisor to complete and sign.
After completing the community service, students should hold onto their form until directed to turn it into their Advocacy teacher.
Some advocacy teachers collect and save the forms throughout the year, others have students hold onto them until the due date.
Community Service Hours Due Date: March 27th
