General Volunteer Info

Getting involved in your child's school benefits everyone... including your child. According to the National PTA, children of involved parents generally achieve more with higher grades, greater motivation and better self esteem.

Parents are required to volunteer 20 hours per year if they have one child at ACES and 30 hours if they have two or more children at ACES.

Instructions for Parents to submit Volunteer Hours

Anytime you serve hours you will need to pick up a form, fill it in, get the form signed by an authorized ACES staff member and turn in the white copy (signed) at the school front desk. Please retain the yellow copy for your records. That yellow copy will serve as proof of the volunteer hours served. In addition, for school wide events there will also be a sign in sheet at the front door. Please make sure you do both, sign in at the front and additionally turn in your (signed) volunteer form during the event.
