Volunteer Opportunities
Welcome Parents!
Recognizing the parent as the primary teacher, SCL fosters a strong home-school relationship. Parents have access to the principal and teachers in person, by phone, and via email. There are numerous ways for parents to get involved in the school and in their child’s education.
These include:
Board of Education
The School Board furthers the overall mission of the school and acts as an advisory board. The Board of Education consists of the Principal, the Pastor, the Director of Religious Education and nine elected parishioners. Board of Education members serve a three year term.
Family Reading Night
