St. Pius X Activities Association – Parent FAQs

What is the St. Pius X Activities Association?

The St. Pius X Activities Association exists to support, promote, and enhance the overall student experience at St. Pius X through volunteerism, community engagement, and financial support. StPX Activities Association works in alignment with the mission, values, and Catholic identity of St. Pius X.

Why is volunteer involvement required?

Volunteer involvement is integral to the success of St. Pius X. Our events, activities, and programs rely heavily on the support of our school community. Volunteering helps foster school spirit, build relationships, and ensure that programs continue to thrive for our students.

How many volunteer hours are required?

Each family is required to complete six (6) volunteer hours per school year.

What counts as volunteer hours?

Volunteer hours may include, but are not limited to:

      • Working concessions at athletic or school events
      • Assisting with school-sponsored activities or fundraisers
      • Supporting events coordinated by the StPX Activities Association
      • Other approved volunteer opportunities posted by the school

All volunteer opportunities must be approved by St. Pius X and coordinated through StPX Activities Association.

How do I find volunteer opportunities?

Volunteer opportunities will be posted on the St. Pius X website and shared through school communications. Families may also contact the StPX Activities Association directly with questions or interest in volunteering.

What if my family cannot complete the volunteer hours?

Families may opt out of volunteering by paying an annual $300 volunteer fee.

Why is there a $300 volunteer fee charged at registration?

All families will be charged a $300 volunteer fee during the registration process. This ensures consistency and accountability across all families.

      • If your family completes the required six (6) volunteer hours each year, the $300 will be credited to your student’s account during their senior year.
      • If the required annual six (6) volunteer hours are not completed, a $300 fee will be charged each year. 

How will volunteer hours be tracked and verified?

Volunteer hours will be tracked through the school’s volunteer system and audited by the StPX Activities Association Treasurer to ensure accuracy and fairness.

What happens if volunteer hours are not completed by the end of the school year?

If a family does not complete the required annual six (6) volunteer hours, a $300 fee will be charged each year. 

Can both parents/guardians earn volunteer hours?

Yes. Volunteer hours may be completed by either or both parents/guardians and combined to meet the six-hour requirement.

Does volunteering affect my student directly?

Volunteering supports the programs and activities that directly benefit students, including athletics, events, and community-building initiatives. While volunteer hours do not affect grades or eligibility, they play an important role in sustaining student opportunities.
