A critical part of SS. Peter & Paul’s commitment to “educate the total child” is fulfilled by the yearly Parental Commitment requirement. In addition to the obligation to pay tuition, parents are required to commit service to the School so that the School can continue its function and provide a high quality of education, while establishing and maintaining a positive Catholic climate for student learning.  Specifically, parents of enrolled SS. Peter & Paul students are required to provide a mandatory sixty-eight (68) hours of service each school year. Parents with more than one child enrolled at SS. Peter & Paul need only fulfill the requirement for the enrollment of one child. This requirement may be completed by parents, friends or relatives of the student.

Parental Commitment has many benefits.   It cuts costs for the School, thus helping to keep tuition manageable for more families. More importantly, children do better in school and get more out of the educational process when parents play an active role in their children’s education. The Parental Commitment program enhances the child’s educational experience by creating a sense of community and spirit of cooperation in the School. It helps to create a close relationship between the parents, teachers and administrators by developing a real understanding of the problems each face.

When parents fulfill their Parental Commitment requirements, they model positive values for our children, values such as service to the community and respect for religion, students, staff and their cultures. In addition, parents may have the opportunity to evaluate their child’s progress and performance both academically and socially within the school environment. Thus, parents are better able to support their child in areas where it is needed.
