SJHS PARENTS

Parents are vital to Saint Joseph High School. Therefore, we have two ways in which the school invites parents/guardians to become partners with the school in the education of their daughters:

FONTBONNE CIRCLE

This organization meets quarterly February 7th and April 10th. The organization's primary goal is to support the total school program through fundraising efforts. All parents are members, and are encouraged to attend these meetings. The dates of all meetings are noted in the school calendar provided to each SJHS family during book buying days. Attendance equals one parent volunteer hour per family.

The PFJSO coordinates several parent events throughout the year in which SJHS family and friends are invited to attend and volunteer for (for information, please contact the office of Institutional Advancement at 562-925-5073 x125):

Parent Education Evenings

The guidance department offers parent educational evenings throughout the school year. Please see the school calendar for specific class level evenings and schoolwide parent educational opportunities.

Volunteer Program

Although parents and guardians are required to volunteer 20 hours of volunteer service each year, it is the school’s experience that once parents have met other families and have satisfied the required 20 hours they will want to work more. The volunteer program is a vehicle for parents/guardians to become involved in their daughter's school. The school needs parents, and the students need their parents to be involved. Volunteer hour opportunities are available throughout the calendar year. However, for each academic year, and for accounting purposes, volunteer hours must be completed before registration for the following school year.
