Parent Service Hours

In order to support our teaching staff and to allow for expanded learning
opportunities at Five Acre School, each Five Acre family is encouraged to fulfill
a 10-hour parent service requirement. Please note that this translates into
only 10 hours per family for the entire school year, and that this
requirement should be fulfilled whether your child is part-time or
full-time. The tasks parents take on will allow teachers to spend more
one-on-one time with our children, while simply giving them more time to teach.
We want these parent service hours to be flexible and enjoyable, with our
children being the beneficiaries.

Each class at Five Acre has very different and specific needs. You will find a
list posted by each classroom suggesting some of the opportunities to help fulfill
your 10 hour requirement. Parents may sign up according to their schedule and
abilities, translating to TIME & TALENTS. It is important to feel comfortable
with the job or project you choose. If you have talents and abilities other than
those listed, such as carpentry, sewing, grant writing, abilities in visual arts,
music or drama, and would like to volunteer for special projects in these ares,
please let us know. Your ideas and creative energies are welcome and needed!
Some tasks may necessitate a brief training or demonstration to be held prior to
the time you are scheduled to volunteer. You will be notified well in a advance
if this is the case.

Please note that serving on the Parent Service Organization in any board or
committee position more than fulfills your required 10 hours and is very
rewarding.

Also, for any "task" that requires direct contact with students, volunteers will be
required to have a Washington State Police background check and will be
trained in any necessary techniques.

Thank you for supporting Five Acre School and for your commitment. We
look forward to working with you!
