Required Service Information

Service hours are a requirement for all Link families. Below are the descriptions of the various service positions that need to be filled for the smooth functioning of the Link day. Families are requested to sign up for hours according to the number of classes their students will be attending. You will be able to choose time slots that are most convenient for you on a first come, first served basis. We do ask that when on site, everyone reserve their cell phone use to emergency only.

As an aid to families that cannot make the time to serve, the Link can hire workers to complete your required responsibilities for you. The cost will be $25 per hour owed. If you desire to make a financial contribution in the place of your service commitment, please contact Carla Harvey at carlaharv@gmail.com before the first day of class in August.

Because we cannot run the Link without the timely help from our families, those that fail to show up for their scheduled time will be charged a $50 fee. This charge will be added to the family's account on the website.

Please select your preferred service activities and times on the service chart. If something comes up and you need to see about switching responsibilities with another family, please use the family phone list to find the contact information for the other families. If you are unable to find a replacement, you may pay $25 in advance of your commitment, and we will hire student workers to complete your job. You must pay the $25 and notify the administrator by Sunday at 5pm before your volunteer commitment on Tuesday.

The formula for calculating the number of hours of your service commitment is:
  • 1/2 class taken (one semester only) = 1.5 hours
  • 1 class = 3 hours
  • 2 classes = 4 hours
  • 3 classes = 5 hours
  • 4 classes = 6 hours
  • 5+ classes = 7 hours
