Parents

Parents can contribute to the school community by volunteering for events, assisting with fundraising activities, and supporting school programs. These opportunities allow parents to engage with the school and support their children’s education.

The 2025–26 Service Hour Commitment is 25 hours per family (all grade levels) or 12.5 hours for single-parent households. Hours may be completed by parents, step-parents, grandparents, or guardians. Hours can be earned through event volunteering or approved donations (donations count at $30 per hour of credit). Click here to read more about volunteering at St. Francis.

The school offers several parent organizations, including the Parents’ Guild, Booster Club, and Patrons of the Arts, which provide avenues for parents to collaborate, support school initiatives, and build community. Click here to see all of our parent organizations and get involved!

Parents have access to tools such as Schoology (view grades, assignments & class info) and the PowerSchool Student/Parent Portal (view attendance, transcripts & schedules) for academic tracking, regular newsletters for school updates, and information on daily schedules and transportation options.

The school offers academic counseling, tutoring services, and wellness programs to ensure students receive comprehensive support for their academic and personal development.

Major events such as the Crab Feed and Annual Auction serve as key fundraisers and community gatherings, supporting various school programs and initiatives. St. Francis High School also holds an annual day of giving, where supporters are asked to show their gratitude with a gift made on Thankful Thursday. 

Regular meetings, social events, and collaborative projects organized by parent groups foster a strong sense of community and partnership between parents and the school.
