Parent Service Hours

Parent Volunteer Hours are necessary at Shumway. The student gets more from the Shumway experience when the parents are involved in the school. They see that the parent deems education important. Each family contributes 40 hours per child (or 60 hours per multi-child family) to the school.

​Being a non-profit, we seek to operate economically while maintaining a high academic standard. To do this, we need the help of every parent. It is also a good way for parents to learn more about the Shumway system of education. 

Here are some ways our parents help Shumway Academy:

• Classroom: Reading, listening, story-writing, room parent, snack reminder, laundry, and general classroom help. 

 

• Building Maintenance

 

• Cleaning Projects: Parents help with various cleaning tasks around the school. A Job Board for this is posted in the entryway of the school.

 

• Computer Maintenance: A volunteer is needed with the skills to aid in computer and printer setup, computer maintenance, and general troubleshooting, most of which can be done during non-school hours.

 

• Grant Writing Committee

 

• Grounds & Projects Committee: The Grounds and Projects Committee helps make sure our school grounds are properly cared for and implements projects when necessary. This can include deep watering for trees on the school grounds, system checks for the sprinkler system, checking the conifers for insects, and periodic safety checks on the playground equipment.

 

• Marketing: Participate with other committee members in helping to market the school.
