Parent Involvement Program
PIP Guidelines
In order to fully involve the parents in school activities, each family is being asked to complete forty (40) hours of service each year.
Over the years, we have been fortunate to have received outstanding support from our parents. You have always been generous in supporting us with your resources, your talents, and your expertise. We trust that you will welcome the program as an opportunity to become even more involved with the Chamlian community.

How it Works:
- A list of upcoming service opportunities will be posted on the school website. Service opportunities consist of volunteer hours or donation of items.
- Assignments will be made on a first-come, first-served basis. The PIP committee will contact the parents to bring in their donations or provide volunteer hours for that particular event.
- It is the responsibility of each parent to record the hours fulfilled by requesting a receipt (PIP credit form) for donated items or by signing in on the designated sign in sheet when attending a particular event. (Please retain a copy for your records).
The administration will record and maintain an accounting of all service hours. The balance and any unfulfilled hours will be sent to the parents twice a year. Once again, a copy should be retained for personal records. In case of a discrepancy in the hours shown, parents may contact the PIP Committee via email at [email protected] - The cutoff for completion of PIP service hours is April 30, 2023.
How to Calculate the Hours:
Each hour of volunteering provided at an event = 1 hour credit towards the 40 hours.
Each $10.00 donation = 1 hour credit towards the 40 hours. (Receipts are required to receive full credit and so we may attach it to our PIP Credit Form).
