Parental Involvement Policy
We at Agia Sophia Academy see ourselves as a natural extension and fulfillment of the primary parental roles of education and Orthodox Christian formation. Consistent and enthusiastic participation and involvement of the parents strengthens the academic program and insures smooth operation of the school. Our staff and our parents make the difference and are the key to achieving our Goals, fulfilling our Mission, and achieving our Vision.
Currently parents are needed to volunteer at a substantial level to meet the needs of a "new" school. We are asking for:
- The requirement for Two-parent families will be asked to serve a minimum of 40 hours per year, as a minimum amount of volunteer hours.
- The requirement for Single-parent families will be to serve a minimum of 20 hours per year.
Parents of MECE students shall serve as follows:
- Parents of full-time students shall serve a minimum of 40 volunteer hours per year.
- Parents of half-time students shall serve a minimum of 20 volunteer hours per year.
Many needs exist for parental involvement at ASA. Below are just a few of the needs of the school:
- A coordinator of Parent Volunteers
- Classroom Assistant
- Reading/Math/Science Assistants
- Lunch/Recess Monitor
- Bookkeeping
- Custodial work
- Chaperone/Driver
- Art/Language/Music Assistant
- Fundraising
- Office Assistant
- Library Assistant
- Facility Improvements
- Marketing/PR
- Coordinate Parent/Teacher Partnership (PTP)
Your investment of time and talents is critical to our success and represents the truest form of stewardship. We look forward to partnering with you as co-investors in the education and formation of your children.
It is the policy of ASA that the safety and well being of our students be of utmost importance. To that end, we require involved parents to submit to a background check. ASA will assume the cost of completing the background check.
