Tips For Completing Parent Hours

Natomas Charter School Tips for Successful Parent Hour Completion

1. Always keep a copy of Parent Participation Records (PPRs) before turning in (office will not make copies).

2. Be sure that your PPR is signed by appropriate person in charge of event or donation before turning in your form.

3. Submit your hours as you do them. Don’t wait to turn in all forms at once.

4. Turn in half your hours by the January deadline and all of your hours by the May deadline. This will prevent your student from being put on probation and kept from participating in end of the year activities.

5. Difficulty finding hours to do? Consult these sources: The STAR newsletter, your parent class representative, attend P4A monthly meetings, check your email for opportunities!

Easy Ways to Earn Parent Hours

A. Attend monthly Landscape Beautification Days. Usually held on the NCS campus the first Saturday morning of every month from 8-12. You can bring multiple adult family members and earn 4 hours per person!

B. Attend monthly P4A meetings. You can earn 1 hour per month for each parent that attends. You can earn between 9-18 hours this way just for attending a meeting that you would want to attend anyway.

C. Get involved with your student’s department shows. You can chaperone, bring food for rehearsals, help sell t-shirts, etc. Your child doesn’t have to be in the show to earn parent hours!

D. Fulfill teacher donation requests and requests for assistance. You can find out about these opportunities via the PTO Manager email system or by reading the STAR newsletter.
