The Service Program is a valuable way to build a spirit of community at WCS. It encourages participation by acting as a reminder of the importance of volunteering, and it helps to keep down the overall cost of operating the school. Parental participation also has a direct positive impact on student performance. For these reasons we ask families to actively participate by serving 30 hours over the course of the school year (10 of which must be in approved fundraising activities). In recognition of the significance that volunteering brings to the school, WCS values these hours at $500.00. The intent of the program is to make the required commitment easy to attain. In fact, we expect that many families will easily exceed the set quota. Parents are asked to opt "in" or "out" of the Service Program. Along with your tuition cheques submitted in June, you will be asked to include a $500.00 cheque, dated for the following June 30th. Click here for the Opt In/Out form. Visit our Service Opportunities page to learn more about upcoming opportunities to serve at WCS. You are responsible for recording your hours, either in the log book in the office, or by clicking "Track Your Hours". A statement will be sent out January 15, May 1 and June 15 to show how many hours you have logged. If your family has not completed 30 hours by the end of the school year, your cheque will be cashed on June 30. Examples of service opportunities: - Fundraising Dinner Coordinator/Worker
