Resources
Below are some helpful resources. We will continue to update these documents, so please check periodically for updates.
Prairie Grove Schools - Community Service Site Request Form
The COM-24-021 8/30/23 states that, “in cases where a community service project is not approved by the local board or organized by the district, the decision for approval lies with the school's volunteer coordinator or administration.” We will support parents in their option to lead, guide, and vet their student's service within appropriate safety protocols.
Current 10th Graders: submit your batch of hours here:

Students can keep track of hours on Tab 4 of their Student Success Plan. Then when you have a batch of hours, submit the Official CSL Form.
