Everything You Want to Know

Week of February 20, 2023

 

FROM NORA JENSEN, SJF VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR: Volunteer Hours Check In

We are now more than halfway through the school year and this would be a good time to record your volunteer hours. As a reminder families are required to fulfill 30 hours or 20 hours for new families. These hours are due by the end of the year and ideally a minimum of 10 volunteer hours would be associated with a fundraising activity (Cardinal Week of Giving or the Jog-a-Thon). As a reminder for each hour not filled, you will be charged $50. 

We will be running a report of current volunteer hours the first week of March, so please see instructions below to enter your hours if needed. If you still need hours, we have several opportunities up coming: Jog-a-thon, Men's Club Easter Egg Hunt, Field Day, Coach Track, First Communion, May Crowning, and more. For volunteer opportunities or questions on recording your hours, please contact Nora Jensen [email protected]. We will be discussing volunteer opportunities related to the jog-a-thon at our next Cardinal Club meeting if interested!

To log your hours:

1.) Go to FACTS login: https://logins2.renweb.com/logins/ParentsWeb-Login.aspx

 

2.) On the side navigation, select 'Family'
