Home and school must communicate to understand the needs and concerns of each other. This will allow consistency in providing a quality and well-rounded education the student. This will also help the school and home complement one another spiritually, academically, and in the most important area of discipline. We encourage parents to visit with the teachers and Administrator as often as necessary.
We love families who volunteer!
Verde Christian Academy values community and to help build a stronger school community, the participation of parents and families is needed. Every year we ask each family to give 15 hours of volunteering throughout the school year.
Volunteering benefits for parents and the school
Studies have shown the positive impact when parents, guardians, or adults volunteer within the school system such as:
- Attendance rate increases
- Test scores increase
- Student behavior improves
In addition, students imitate what they see and lead to students more likely to volunteer when they see parents, guardians, or adults volunteer. Students also feel valued as the adults in their lives get to know their friends, teachers and routines.
Financial Contribution
VCA is also in need of financial support, and supplies. If you choose to donate instead of volunteering, please see our Office Manager for more information. Every $15 donation will count towards 1-hour of time.
