Community Service

All students complete community service in grades one through five. Students should complete at least 1 hour per every 6-week grading period.

Students are required to complete a total of six hours of community service. Community service is a part of students’ homebase grade. Helping family members and others in the community is a great way to learn citizenship and recognize your impact in your community.
