Parent Participation

RCS is a community. We are not only students, teachers and staff; we are a community of families working together to create a vibrant learning center where all members feel welcome.

In order to achieve our mission, we need your help! Parent Participation (PP) is a key ingredient to our long-term success, and is a requirement for all families. Although parents have the option of "buying" out their PP hours, we prefer your active participation. Not only does your participation help keep operations running smoothly at RCS, your presence on campus models the importance of working together as a community. 

How much PP is required? 

PP hours are calculated by family rather than by individual student. Families with at least 1 full-time student, participate in 10 hours of service per month. Families with part-time students, participate with 5 hours of service per month. In addition, RCS hosts 2 work days per year for accomplishing bigger tasks. Work days are much more than work! It is a time for families to come together, get to know one another better, and share in the joy and satisfaction of completing larger projects that benefit the entire community. 

What types of PP are available? 

PP can take many forms. Common tasks that parents regularly assist with include:

What if I can't participate during school hours?

We are flexible! There are a number of PP jobs that can be done remotely or on weekends.
