TODAY (6/19): Last Day To Report Volunteer Hours for 2019-20

Have you reported your family’s volunteer hours for 2019-20?
One of the pieces of data we collect as we close out each school year is the number of volunteer hours (and donations in lieu of hours) contributed by our Maeser families. These numbers provide us with an indication of engagement in our Maeser community and are used by our auditors as a factor in our school’s annual review. We ask each Maeser family to contribute 40 hours of volunteer service to the school each year (20 hours for single parent families).

If you have contributed your time, donated items ($5=1 hour of service), or made a financial donation ($7.50=1 hour of service) to the school this year and have not yet reported those hours, please take a moment to log that information here: Report Parent Service Hours.

Please be sure to enter your volunteer hours in the form before 11:59pm on Friday, June 19, when the form will close for this school year so we can run our annual reports and prepare for 2020-21.

Didn’t have time to volunteer this year?
Did you know you can make a donation in lieu of volunteer hours? Volunteer hours can be “bought out” at $7.50 per hour (or $300 for the full 40 hours). Donations can be made at the front desk during office hours or on our RevTrak fee payment site. If you make a donation in lieu of volunteer hours, please remember to record your donation here: Report Parent Service Hours.

Help Us Stay In Touch!

Opt In For School Text Messages

Our school utilizes the SchoolMessenger system to deliver text messages to your mobile phone with important information about events, school closings, safety alerts, and more. We will only use text messaging for urgent and important information.

You can participate in this service by sending a text message of “Y” or “Yes” to our school’s short code number, 67587. You can also opt out of text messages at any time by simply replying to one of our messages with “Stop”.

Thank you for helping us keep in contact with your family!

Updating Your Information

If your plans have changed and your student will no longer be attending Maeser this fall, please contact our registrar asap at registrar@maeserprep.org so we can make that seat available to one of the many students on our wait list.

If any of your contact information has changed – email address, mailing address, phone number – please let us know so we can stay in touch with your family.
