PLEASE NOTE ALL VOLUNTEER HOURS MUST BE SELF REPORTED VIA THE PARENT PORTAL
Volunteers are an essential part of the Franklin Academy community. Many tasks can be performed from home, via email, or online, supporting teachers, students, and fellow families. The school requests that each K-8th family contribute 30 hours of volunteer time, and each preschool family contribute 15 hours, during the acedemic year. For more information, please reach out to PALS directly at .
