SERVICE POINT PROGRAM (SP Program) 服務點數需求
The success of the School’s functions and activities depends on volunteer work by all member families. Parents of enrolled students are required to assist the School in operations through the Service Point Program (SPP). Through the SP Program, Member Families earn points for service rendered.
Service Point Requirements per year are: 12 points for 1 enrolled child, 2 points per each additional child. New families are exempt for the first year. Service points will be tallied up in May and families who have not met their service point requirements will be assessed $10 per point during the May pre-registration period.
The SP Program offers many areas throughout the School year where Members can help with the School’s functions and activities. Volunteer opportunities are available during the School’s main events: Speech Contest, Vocabulary Contest, Chinese New Year Celebration, Picnic, and other internal/external student activities, as well as on a regular basis as Teacher’s or Board Member’s assistants. Specific opportunities and sign-up sheets will be posted. Please check the School’s Bulletin Board outside the Faculty Lounge or visit this Blog.
