Service for Our School Community

 

Service Hours

​

St. Kevin Catholic School encourages parental involvement and provides many opportunities for families to participate in meaningful and enjoyable activities that benefit our school and its students.

Each family (not each individual child) is required to complete a minimum of 20 volunteer hours annually. The required hours are divided as follows:

• 12 Regular Volunteer Hours

• 6 Faith Formation Hours

• 2 Parish Festival Hours

Volunteer hours may be completed by parents, spouses, grandparents, or other eligible family members through approved school and/or Church activities and ministries.

​

Tracking Your Volunteer Hours

​

​​All volunteer hours are tracked through the Track It Forward app. Each family is responsible for logging into their account, monitoring their progress, and ensuring all required hours are completed and properly recorded.

Depending on the volunteer opportunity, hours will be recorded in one of two ways:

• Self-Reported Hours: Families must log into Track It Forward and upload their completed hours, along with any required documentation, for approval.

• Event Sign-Ups: For certain school events and volunteer opportunities, hours will be automatically logged by the Volunteer Coordinator once participation has been verified.

Volunteer hours are mandatory for every family. Please make sure your Track It Forward account is active and up to date throughout the school year.

For more information on volunteer opportunities or service hours, please contact Jennina Gomez.

Volunteer Forms & Clearance Procedures

​

In keeping with Archdiocese of Miami volunteer requirements established for the safety of our children, all required volunteer clearances must be current in order to volunteer in any capacity on school premises or at school-sponsored events. This includes, but is not limited to, class parties, field trips, cafeteria/lunch volunteering, and other school activities.

​

Volunteer Clearance Requirements:

 

Fingerprinting

All volunteers must complete the required fingerprint/background screening process. Fingerprint clearance is valid for 5 years.

​

VIRTUS Certification

​

All volunteers must complete the required VIRTUS training. The initial VIRTUS training course is required only once; however, volunteers are responsible for keeping their VIRTUS account active and in compliance at all times.

Monthly VIRTUS bulletins are required and must be completed on time. Volunteers should regularly log in to their VIRTUS account to ensure there are no outstanding bulletins. Any volunteer with one or more pending monthly bulletins is at risk of having their VIRTUS account suspended.

Volunteers with a suspended or non-compliant VIRTUS account will not be permitted to volunteer until their account has been brought back into compliance.

We strongly encourage all volunteers to regularly check their VIRTUS account and complete monthly bulletins promptly to avoid interruptions in their volunteer eligibility.
