By interacting with teachers, administrators, and other parents on a regular basis, you’ll gain a firsthand understanding of your child’s daily activities, which will enable you to better communicate with your child as he/she grows and changes. You may also read more about the Archdiocese of Washington’s Child Protection Program at www.adw.org/childprotection.
Your child will see that you care about him/her and his/her school. This benefits your child’s confidence and self-esteem.
You will have a greater understanding of all the events, traditions, and experiences that make LFS special.
Your unique talents and gifts can be used in ways that benefit students, classrooms, and the school as a whole.
Volunteering alongside other parents is a way to connect, build relationships, and truly feel like part of the LFS Family!
Each Little Flower School family is required to contribute a minimum of 25 hours of volunteer service, in addition to 4 nights of Bingo, to the school. These hours can be contributed by any person age 16 or older (including older siblings, grandparents, and other extended family of the enrolled child). Please note that volunteers must be 21 or older at events where alcohol is served. All volunteers ages 18 and older must be Virtus-approved if they will be working with children in any capacity. Please see Mrs. Jenny Batts in the front office for more information about our Child Protection Program.
Fingerprinting is required by the Archediocese of Washington. Fingerprinting can be completed at the Sheriff's Office in Leonardtown or other local providers (see documents below). Please be aware there is a fee for this, which is the responsibility of the volunteer.
Each family is responsible for recording their hours on Track It Forward. Hours volunteered at the school can be recorded using the links provided to the left.
Required volunteer hours will be pro-rated for those families entering or leaving during the academic year.
