Volunteer Hours Form

Thank You for Volunteering! 

St. John’s Academy relies on the generous support of volunteers to help make our events successful—events that not only build community but also serve as vital fundraisers for the school. These efforts directly support our mission and help keep tuition affordable for all families. From organizing auctions to helping at student activities, every volunteer plays an important role in sustaining the high-quality, faith-filled education we provide. Your time and talents make a lasting impact!


Families with children in Kindergarten - 8th grade are *required to serve 20 hours per school year.

Families with children only in Pre-K are *required to serve 10 hours per school year. 

Kids' Kingdom parents are not required to serve any volunteer hours.

*No family is required to serve more than 20 hours per school year.


By enrolling your child at St. John’s Academy, families commit to completing a set number of volunteer hours each school year. These hours are an important part of our school community and help support the programs and events that benefit all students. Families have from August through June to fulfill this commitment, and we’ll provide plenty of opportunities and reminders along the way. *Please note that fulfilling this volunteer requirement is necessary to remain eligible for financial aid.

Volunteer Hours

"Volunteering at school events has been the best way for me to meet the parents of my child’s friends and feel connected to the school community. I’ve built lasting friendships and felt more involved in my child’s school life.

It’s not just about helping out—it’s about belonging to something bigger and making memories as a family."
