Staying Involved through Service

Parent involvement in PUCS is essential for students and the school to flourish. We ask each family to contribute 24 service hours to the school annually.

Please consider where you could best invest your time and talents at PUCS. Parents often help with:

  • The Parent Association
  • Field trips
  • Office tasks
  • Summer maintenance projects

Parents can track their service hours throughout the year on the Report Service Hours webpage. 

PUCS Parent Association

Every parent who currently has a student enrolled at PUCS is automatically part of the Parent Association. The purpose of the Parent Association is to directly support the school, students, parents, faculty and staff.

Parent Association Meetings

All parents are encouraged to attend Parent Association meetings:

  • Meetings are held 2-3 times per year (see Calendar, please RSVP).
  • Meeting content includes upcoming activities and opportunities to talk with the Board.
  • Meetings count toward your family’s Service Hours requirement.
  • Child care and food are provided at in-person meetings.

If you have any questions, please contact office@pucs.org or 412-244-1779.

Service Hours Policy

Family service hours can be completed by parents or close relative (grandparent or aunt/uncle).  Learn the details of PUCS’ service hours policy.

Volunteer Clearances

All volunteers for any PUCS event, including parents, must submit 3 clearances to the PUCS office:

  1. Report of Criminal History from the Pennsylvania State Police
  2. Child Abuse History Certification from the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services
  3. Criminal Background Check from the FBI or waiver on file in the main office.

PUCS can help you with the fees. If you need fee assistance, contact the PUCS office before submitting your information to the clearance agencies. You can contact us at office@pucs.org or 412-244-1779.
