Parent Volunteering

There are several opportunities for parents to get involved and volunteer. Our Home and School Association, Advancement and Admissions Team, along with the homeroom teachers have several events/opportunities for families to volunteer including Coffee with the Principal, Halloween, Christmas, Race for Education, open houses, Ambassador Families, class parties, etc.  We hope to see you in the school soon!  

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.

VIRTUS

With our longstanding commitment in mind, all parishes and archdiocesan Catholic Schools will be using VIRTUS, a new compliance management system that will allow all parishes and schools to facilitate compliance with archdiocesan child protection requirements for all volunteers who work with minors, employees, and clergy.

School Store

We are partnering with 1st Place Spiritwear this year to bring you some spiritwear options.  Orders should ship and arrive to your home within ten days.

Cognia

All Archdiocesan high schools and elementary schools are accredited as a system through Cognia. Each school is evaluated based on the National Standards and Benchmarks for Effective Catholic Elementary and Secondary Schools.

Archdiocesan Collaborative School

An Archdiocesan Collaborative School (ACS) is a model of shared governance developed by the Archdiocese of Baltimore. The ACS model utilizes a shared governance model that fosters unity through the collaboration of stakeholders in support of Catholic schools. The model allows decisions regarding day-to-day school operations to be made at the local level, while individual schools and school administrators are supported centrally from the Department of Catholic Schools and the Catholic Center’s Central Services in areas such as academics, finance, development, enrollment management and marketing.

Positive School Environment

To foster a Positive School Environment-St. Augustine Earns Silver Recognition (2019) where all students are educated in a safe and caring atmosphere, all Archdiocesan schools will follow established procedures for prevention and intervention for bullying, harassment or intimidation.

Positive Behavioral Intervention & Supports (PBIS) has been implemented in every Archdiocesan elementary and high school to enhance academic and social behavior outcomes for all students. We are pleased to announce SAS is a PBIS Gold School.
