Parents Center
WELCOME TO OUR PARENTS' CENTER
St. Thomas More Academy encourages parental involvement and participation. Holiday celebrations will include parents and gives them an opportunity to interact with their child in the classroom setting. Participating in the classroom celebrations does not count towards the fulfillment of the required volunteer hours. Additionally, St. Thomas More Academy will conduct special events designed to give parents an opportunity to meet each other and interact with other preschool students. The success of these events is highly dependent upon parent volunteers. Parents are required to contribute 10 hours per family per school year of volunteer service, or $20 per hour equivalent ($200). Parents are encouraged to donate their time and talents as often as possible. Volunteer service hours not met by May 1st will be billed accordingly. Parents are responsible for keeping track of their hours.
