Volunteering Policy

Volunteering at St. Louise School is a wonderful way to connect with our community, support your child’s education, and model the importance of service. By contributing your time and talents, you help create a thriving environment where all students can succeed. Plus, your involvement shows your children the value of giving back and working together.

Why Volunteer?

Your participation strengthens the St. Louise community, enriches the school experience, and offers meaningful ways to engage with your child’s education. Whether you’re helping in the classroom, assisting with events, or offering your professional expertise, your efforts make a difference and are deeply appreciated.

Getting Started:
