Get Involved
Participating in the Parent Volunteer Program (PVP) provides parents and students the opportunity to be involved in the school. Parents, volunteering their time and talent, improve the school, strengthen the school community, and role model the importance of education and service for their children. Each family is required to complete 30 hours of volunteer service per school year. The Parent Volunteer Program is managed by the School Advisory Board.
Child Safety Training
All volunteers are required to take the the “Shield the Vulnerable” training course either in-person or online before they can participate in any child related event at the school, including field trips and class parties. This course, mandated by the Oakland diocese, will educate volunteers about providing a safe environment for children and young people. Complete the training online at www.shieldthevulnerable.org. A certificate of completion must be submitted to the office prior to any volunteer activity.
Online Volunteer Information Center
To simplify signing-up for volunteer opportunities and reporting on completed hours, we have partnered with the Volgistics software company to provide the Online Volunteer Information Center. Using the Online Volunteer Information Center, you are able to easily sign-up for available opportunities. You can keep track of your volunteer hours by viewing your completed hours at any time and can also print reports as needed. The Online Volunteer Information Center is being introduced for El Rancho as a pilot program with the goal of releasing it for year-round use shortly thereafter. Using the Online Information Center is a 2 step process:
- Review the Directory of Opportunities and job descriptions, by clicking here: http://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/OD?FROM=24327
- Login and sign up for available volunteer opportunities, by clicking here: https://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/?From=24327
In order to sign up for a volunteer opportunity in Step 2, you need to login using your specific username and password. You should have received your username and password via email. If you do not have your login information, please email: sjesvolunteerinfo@gmail.com.
