Volunteer philosophy & policy

A strong volunteer program was the foundation and remains a vital aspect of Fort Caspar Academy. Every family will be expected to donate a minimum of ten hours per semester to the school. Parents are encouraged to seek out opportunity for volunteering in the school. Parents may participate in any of the parent committees, attend PTO meetings, spend time in their children’s classroom, help with sports teams, work in the library or workroom, or participate in the life of our school by joining in a variety of other activities. Parent volunteers help develop strong school/home partnerships that result in an increased quality of education for our students. Surveys will be sent to parents requesting their interest in helping in this area.
