HOW TO LOG HOURS

To Log In to Helper Helper, click HERE.

• All FIRE hours will be logged through Helper Helper using the smartphone app or web browser. Any internet-ready device will be able to facilitate the use of Helper Helper. All opportunities will also be posted through this platform and some may be on the Dragon FIRE website. Check the helper helper site frequently with your Act lab teacher.

• In order for hours to be approved, hours MUST be "verified" by the supervisor using the email service provided by Helper Helper. Helper Helper will verify that the service was completed by sending an email link to the service supervisor to verify the student’s participation.

• The EMAIL verification is the requirement for approval. Parents may NOT serve as the supervisor.

  • The only exception to this rule is if you sign up for an internal event through Helper Helper.

• Students are also required to type in a brief entry in the "name of opportunity" box that describes what they did. Please be specific.

• Brief answers like "I helped at the auction" or "I worked with classmates" are insufficient and will be rejected.

• Final approval of service will be granted by Campus Ministry only after completing the requirements and verification process.

• Should a student or parent have any questions regarding the process, use of Helper Helper, or approved service opportunities, they should contact Mary Seise in Campus Ministry. You can reach out by calling 314.481.8400 ext. 192 or you can reach out via email at seisem@stmaryshs.com

• Students will write a reflection about their service experiences at the end of each year and submit it to their religion teacher for a grade.
