San Joaquin Memorial offers parents a multitude of opportunities to participate in the life of the school through our parent service program. Parent service and participation is considered a crucial part of the school’s success. Parent organizations, such as the Parent Guild or Boosters Club, offer parents an opportunity to work for the good of the school along with other committed parents.
For the 2024-2025 school year, all parents are required to provide 15 service hours to the school. To complete this requirement, a parent may volunteer time in a number of ways or may donate cash and/or gift-in-kind items at the exchange rate of $20 per hour. Any hours not completed before the end of the April will be charged at a rate of $20 per hour.
Families receiving financial aid are required to contribute additional hours to the school. These service hours are in addition to the 15 service hours required of all parents.
Other opportunities for service exist based on the desires, talents and availability of parents. Parents are encouraged to complete parent service information requests identifying unique skills or experiences that which can be shared with the school community (i.e. professional experience, musical, artistic, or athletic ability).
(Note: Fingerprinting is required of all volunteers and Safe Environment Training must be completed according to the policies of the Diocese of Fresno. Please see Lisa Jones in Campos Center)
Parents who volunteer with concessions will have their hours automatically logged and sent.
