Required Family Services Hours Due by April 30
There are so many ways for families to get involved and make a difference at Oakland Christian School. Parental efforts support the energies of the faculty and staff and enable them to keep their focus on the quality of our educational program. Volunteering also gives your family a way to become more fully connected in the school community and helps your child see your commitment to quality education.
Since parental involvement and support of Oakland Christian is a very important aspect of our school, each family at OCS is required to participate in the Family Service Hour Program. Families in JK – 12th grade must complete 20* family service hours per school year. For each school year, the service hour program begins on May 1 and ends on April 30th. A $20 fee will be charged for every hour not completed.
*Required hours for all NEW families to OCS is as follows for their first year:
- All new families enrolled for the 2022-23 school year by August- 16 service hours
- Enrolled in September or October 2022 - 12 service hours
