Parent Involvement Program (PIP)

Welcome to the Parent Involvement Program (PIP) at Chamlian Armenian School!

 

A strong partnership between families and our school is crucial to a student’s educational success. To foster this vital connection, we have established the Parent Involvement Program (PIP). We invite every family to contribute to our school community by committing to 40 hours of service each academic year. Your dedication not only supports your child's success but also plays a pivotal role in enriching our school environment. Historically, Chamlian parents have generously offered their time, skills, and resources. We view PIP as an excellent opportunity to deepen your engagement with the Chamlian community and collaboratively enhance our students' learning experience. 

 

 

 - Annual Commitment: Each family is required to fulfill 40 hours of service annually. If a family is unable to meet this commitment, a fee of $18.00 per unfulfilled hour will be charged on the final tuition statement. 

 

- Tracking and Reporting: Service hours are recorded on a PIP credit form or by signing in on a designated sheet at events. Parents will receive updates on their service hours twice a year. All service hours must be completed by April 30 of each academic year. 

 

 

- Parent Committees and Events: Parents working on a committee or volunteering at a school event will earn hours as determined by the Committee Chair or Activity Chair. 

 

- Student Store Support: The PSC will post opportunities to fulfill orders, take inventory, and/or help during sales. 

 

- Armenian and Scholastic Book Fairs: The PSC will post opportunities for parents to volunteer at book fairs to help with sales, setup, and takedown. 

 

- Chocolate Sale: Families can earn 1 PIP hour per box sold. 

 

- Field Trip Chaperoning: Teachers will ask for parent volunteers to chaperone on field trips through class emails. If multiple parents sign up, volunteers will be chosen by lottery. 

 

- Parent Education Nights: Parents will receive PIP hours for participating in parent education nights as outlined by the event guidelines. This list is not exhaustive. Additional opportunities may be listed as needed. 

 

Donations: Donations will not count toward PIP hours, as our goal is to encourage participation. Any hours not completed by April of the academic year will be charged at the rate of $18 per hour on the final invoice in May.
