Parent Involvement

Joining Holy Spirit Catholic School means becoming a part of a broader community. Holy Spirit School works as a community where family engagement is fully embraced. Everything at Holy Spirit happens with the assistance of a fully supportive parent population and an active Parent Teacher Organization (PTO).

PTO

The mission of Holy Spirit Catholic School’s Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is to build a sense of community within our school and provide academic enrichment through partnerships with families, teachers, staff, administrators and community organizations. The PTO seeks to include as many parents as possible through various volunteer opportunities.

PTO-sponsored events have included:

• Used Uniform Sales
• Volunteer Fair
• Book Fair
• Boosterthon/ Fun Run
• Trunk-or-Treat
• Christmas Tree Sales
• Restaurant Fundraisers
• Christmas Boutique
• Guest Speaker Seminars
• Teacher Appreciation Week
• Talent Show
• Field Day
• Monthly Hospitality Luncheon for Teachers

Volunteer

Holy Spirit Catholic School instituted its Parent School Service Commitment (PSSC) program in the 2008-2009 School Year to enable the school community to benefit from parents' and other family members' time and talents. Under this program, 20 volunteer hours per family, or 10 hours per single parent family, are required each academic year. There are a variety of service opportunities each school year, from managing an event, being a mystery reader, helping out at a class party, serving on the PTO Board, and more. 

Anyone volunteering with youth in the Diocese of Arlington must be fully compliant with the Child Protection Policy/Virtus. It is all about being proactive in the quest to keep our children safe.
