SEATTLE LUTHERAN HIGH SCHOOL PARENTS ASSOCIATION
PIP PARENT VOLUNTEER PROGRAM GUIDELINES
PIP stands for Parent Involvement Program. Parent volunteerism is the strongest model for shaping good service habits among students. At Seattle Lutheran High School, families are asked to contribute volunteer hours in support of programs and fundraising activities, which serve the school community in various ways.
If you have a student registered at SLHS under either the General or Association tuition plans, you are obligated to perform PIP service: 20 hours annually for the General tuition rate and 25 hours annually for the Association rate. Although we prefer that families become actively engaged in the support of school programs through personal services, parents/guardians may also discharge their obligation by payment of $25 per hour of obligated PIP service. If you have not completed your required amount of PIP hours by May 31st of each year, you will be billed at $25 per hour for the balance of required hours. Payments will be due before the end of the school year. The PIP program runs yearly from June 1st through May 31st. All hours for the current school year must be served before May 31st. Any hours served after May 31st will count towards the next school year.
PIP Hours Record Keeping
The SLHS Parent Auxiliary (in co-operation with the school) is responsible for keeping records for PIP commitment hours. It must be understood that no records will be forwarded, report cards sent home, or a family considered enrolled for the following year until the current years obligation is met. Record keeping of hours begins on June 1st and ends on May 31st of the following year. Any hours received after May 31st will count towards the next school year. Keep the following in mind as you fill out and sign your forms:
TO RECORD YOUR HOURS - Log your hours on-line – www.seattlelutheran.org, go to the parent Involvement section, use the online form that you can fill out and submit electronically direct to the school, You can also fill out a paper copy (available in the school office) and submit to the school office if you do not have computer access. Hours will be recorded and quarterly statements mailed out with your students grade reports.
-The time contribution submitted will be reflected on your quarterly report once verified by PIP recorder.
-PIP hours should be submitted immediately following service and must be submitted by the 10th of the following month to receive credit.
-The PIP program will run June 1st through May 30th of each year.
-Time contributed by parents or grandparents can be submitted for PIP credit.
-Work performed by students or extended family members will be counted toward the annual PIP obligation only with prior approval of the PIP coordinator.
PIP OPPORTUNITIES
To sign up for your preference of PIP Activities please fill out the form on the next page. Listed are activities and opportunities that count toward PIP hours. Please be aware that some activities and volunteer positions involve more than the required PIP hours. If a family agrees to participate in an activity that will require more hours than the family is obligated to, it is expected that the family will follow through and complete the activity. Some activities fulfill your entire requirement for the year (20 hours) such as Auxiliary Board Member and Committee Chairs. School related activities, which monetarily benefit individual participants, do not count toward PIP hours. Examples: Class fundraisers (which benefit classes such as Senior or International trips), Activity fundraisers such as cheerleading, individual sports teams or clubs/student activities. If you are unsure if the activity counts toward PIP please email the PIP coordinator or check with an Auxiliary representative.
