Volunteer Opportunities

UPDATE: We are no longer using Gradelink to record volunteer hours and are transitioning to TrackItForward.com. We will also use this new site to host event signups. Click here to sign up - ONE ACCOUNT PER FAMILY, please: https://www.trackitforward.com/site/st-dorothy-school  If you have already logged hours in Gradelink between May 18, 2026 and now, please transfer the lump sum to Trackitforward as a "GRADELINK TRANSFER" and Mrs. La Rocca will review it. Contact Mrs. La Rocca if you need to look up how many hours you have in Gradelink.

A minimum of 40 hours of service to St. Dorothy Catholic School is required of each family. St. Dorothy will work in conjunction with the PTO to provide multiple opportunities to complete service hours throughout the school year.  It is necessary to request help from each school family in order to provide necessary funds and services to St. Dorothy Catholic School and students. Hours are valued at $30.00 an hour. Volunteer hours help to evenly distribute the workload, promote family participation, increase school growth, and to create community. In lieu of service hours, a fee of $1200.00 is to be paid to the school by March 29, 2027. 

Any person who is a member of the family of a child at St. Dorothy Catholic School may participate in the volunteer hours program. This includes mothers, fathers, step-parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, in-laws, cousins, brothers, or sisters. All participants must be 18 years of age or older, be Virtus Trained, and fingerprinted by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Volunteer hours may NOT be transferred to other parties unless specifically approved by the school Principal. 

It is the responsibility of each family, NOT school staff, to record and submit volunteer hours on TrackItForward. If volunteer hours are not recorded in an appropriate time, hours may be forfeited.

NOTE: The volunteer period for the 2026-27school year begins May 18, 2026 and ends May 14, 2027 (per contract).
