Families with students in Grades K-8
St. John Bosco is a caring, sharing school community and all of us have an opportunity to be involved!

The purpose of our Family Participation Program is to encourage parent support and involvement from the entire school community. Parent participation in the school is needed to help maintain the high level of excellence found here at St. John Bosco. The participation program is a contractual agreement between the family and school to benefit our most important goal -- the Catholic education of our children. There are ample opportunities for you to share your talents and interests, and also, benefit the school.
 

THE CONTRACT CALLS FOR 20 HOURS OF VOLUNTEER SERVICE TO THE SCHOOL AND/OR CHURCH.
