Two-parent families are expected to give a total of thirty hours of service and five hours of yard duty to St. Isabella School each year. One-parent families are expected to give fifteen hours of service and 3 hours of yard duty to the school each year. This is an opportunity to share your talents and interests and help support St. Isabella. The coordinator helps keep track of service hours that have been completed. By the end of January and again by the beginning of May, families will be informed of their status regarding their hour commitment. (For more information see the Tuition Policy on page 29 of the Parent Student Handbook.)

Yard Supervision Coordinators Cheryl Villasenor/Vicki Bell
The St. Isabella schoolyard is very large and it takes two staff members and five parent volunteers to adequately supervise lunch recess. Parents are asked to do yard duty as part of their Parent Service Hours (see above). The coordinators use the information provided by families in August to set up the yard supervision schedule for the year. They send monthly calendars of yard duty assignments to school families via the Family Envelope. (For more information see the Service hours and Yard Supervision on pages 7 and 29 of Student Parent Handbook.)

Health Coordinator Catherine Friesch
Parent volunteers who are medical professionals assist the school in providing hearing and vision screening for students in grades K, 1,3,5 and 7 and all new students to the school. They also help maintain accurate immunization records for all our students. They also offer advice as situations arise.

Uniform Exchange Coordinator Lisa Davis
As a service to parents, parent volunteers have organized a Uniform Exchange. Previously owned uniforms are available free of charge. Please contact the Uniform Exchange Coordinator for an appointment to visit his/her home and look through the uniforms stored there. The school sends uniform items that have been left for a long time in the Lost and Found to the Uniform Exchange and families are also encouraged to donate uniforms that are no longer needed.

St. Isabella Parish Men's Club President, Mike McNamara
The primary purpose of the Men's Club is to unite the men of the Parish and the fathers of the children at St. Isabella School and Parish School of Religion. The strength from this unity will provide the network for this new organization to achieve many notable goals centered on promoting athletics, and cultural activities for our children. As a St. Isabella's Parish ministry, the Men's Club, like other parish and school organizations, will help create a community spirit leading to the stability and growth of the Parish.
