Volunteer – An Opportunity to Help us Make a Difference
St. Augustine Catholic School takes pride in being a school community that welcomes the gifts and talents of so many individuals. An investment of your time and talent is critical to the success of our school! We invite you to volunteer for various events and activities that serve the students and build community among one another.
All volunteers are required to complete VIRTUS training and screening. Please contact Mrs. Lisa Toles-Felton at lfelton@staug-md.org if you have any questions.
Track It Forward Volunteer Program
The Family Service Initiative requires each family to perform 20 hours of service (10 hours per family with a single or deployed parent) from a predetermined list of activities approved and occasionally modified by the St. Augustine School Administration. The Family Service Initiative year begins on July 1st and ends on May 31st. Families that fail to complete the required 20 (or 10) hours of service by May 31st will be required to pay a fee. Service hours will be tracked on trackitforward.com. Any individual family member who is at least 18 years of age may perform service hours. Please log into Track It Forward and create your account today. One account is needed per family. Only service opportunities listed in Track It Forward qualify for official service hours. Service hours do not carry over from one school year to the next or be donated to other families.
A family unable to complete any service hours will be required to pay a $500 fee (20 hours X $25 = $500). This fee will be reduced by $25 for every hour of service completed. Likewise, a family with a single or deployed parent will be required to pay a $250 fee (10 hours X $25 = $250). This fee will also be reduced by $25 for every hour of service completed. Families of students enrolled during the course of the school year will follow the service hour schedule as outlined in the Parent and Student Handbook.
Families in 8th grade only will be billed on May 15th, 2027. 8th grade families are able to log hours for future trips or service opportunities prior to the billing date.
Record Keeping: It is the responsibility of each family to maintain an accurate record of service hours. Each family will maintain their Family Service Record utilizing Track it Forward. To sign up as a volunteer, go to the Parents tab on the St. Augustine School website and click on Volunteer Hours. To log hours, go to trackitforward.com and sign in using your account name and password. The complete instructions for Track it Forward are located on the volunteering page of the St. Augustine School website. Hours that are not entered into Track it Forward within 30 days of the service will not be counted toward your Family Service Hours. No exceptions can be made after 30 days have passed. Once your family has submitted 20 service hours, you will receive confirmation that your hours are complete. No additional tracking is required.
