Parent/Guardian Participation Contract

2003 - 2004 School Year

As a parent/guardian of a child/children attending St. Matthias School, I understand that our tuition and fees do not cover the entire cost of educating my child/children. I am aware that part of the deficit in the school budget, (the difference between tuition/fees collected and projected expenses) for the 2003-2004 school year will have to be made up through the various fund raising activities and other volunteer work for the school as specified by the Finance Committee in consultation with the Pastor and Principal. Therefore, since I freely choose to send my child/children to St. Matthias School, I/we understand and agree:

1. Each family will purchase or sell 10 Boosters per month at a cost of $2.00 each. During our September candy drive, each student is required to sell one box of candy.



2. Volunteer service from September 1, 2003 to June 15, 2004 is required in ONE or more of the areas described in the Registered Parish Activities attachment. Volunteer may be parents or their approved substitute.
   
   A minimum of 25 volunteer hours is required. Hours are valued at $18.00 per hour. I understand that if I do not participate in volunteer activities I will pay a surcharge of $18.00 per hour at a maximum of $450.00 which is due by June 15, 2004.



3. I understand that St. Matthias School has requested that ALL payments will be made in check or money order. I agree that I will reimburse the school for charges incurred as a result of returned checks.

NOTE: All workers will be assigned on the basis of availability and need. It is my responsibility to contact the chair people of the committee to receive proper credit for hours worked.
