Home & School Association Overview
The role of the Roanoke Catholic Home and School Association (HSA) is to support the school, teachers, staff, and the Catholic education of our children. We are truly blessed to have so many wonderful volunteers – parents, grandparents, friends, and alumni who graciously volunteer their time and energy to the HSA and the school. Each family has a 15 hour minimum commitment to volunteer through HSA activities or school functions, including sports. Support of annual activities like Catholic Schools Week are provided by HSA coordinated volunteers. In addition, HSA Home Room Parents coordinate volunteers for classroom activities. Teachers and volunteer leaders submit fund request for activities like field trips, retreats and competitions to be reviewed for funding. Many valuable requests are granted. Examples of financial support provided by HSA has included:
- School Directory
- Back to School Festivities
- Financial support for students to travel on field trips, retreats and to competitions
- Library Programs – Accelerated Reader Point Awards
- Teacher start up money to help with classroom needs
- Pins for “Serving Christ in One Another” award
- Catholic Schools Week activities including student appreciation activities and teacher appreciation luncheon
- Open House Activities
- Mardi Gras Celebration
- Monthly Parent Prayer Services
- Science Fair prizes and reception
- Muffins for Mom
- Doughnuts for Dad
- Yearbook support
- Scholarships for US & LS students based on academics, Christian values and beliefs, and participation in service or extracurricular activities
- 7th grade Liturgy reception
- Baccalereate
- Graduation reception
In order to provide enrichment programs and to support the education of our children, there is a financial component to the HSA. The “Flat Fee” or dues option of $70.00 has been established as the funding source for HSA. Why $70.00? This amount was chosen based on the number of families in our school and a review of HSA budgets over the last several years. In order to continue to support the programs, activities, and extra equipment that HSA has been able to provide, this number was chosen. Thank you for being a part of the Roanoke Catholic Home and School Association and helping our school community.
