To log hours, volunteers will stop by the front desk at your campus. You will CHECK-IN and CHECK-OUT for each volunteer shift/opportunity to have your hours recorded. Please have your family number handy, and give it to anyone who is volunteering under your family number. This way hours can be tracked appropriately.
NEW TRACKING SYSTEM IN PLACE: You will now track volunteer hours by stopping by the front office of your campus to CHECK-IN and CHECK-OUT each time you volunteer, or log any at-home / away from school hours here:

We ask that every American Academy family complete 40 hours of volunteer time during each school year.
-
- Logged volunteer hours must be in service to American Academy (in the classroom, PTO, PAB, SAC, recess, carpool, library, etc.), not an outside organization, even if it’s a really good one, even if it meets at the school or is made up entirely of American Academy students. For example, volunteering to help TGA Tennis teach American Academy students in the gym doesn’t count; volunteering to run a Girl or Boy Scout troop at the school doesn't count.
- Volunteers may only log hours for actual time spent, NOT in exchange for dollar value of items purchased. We can't award credit for volunteer time based on monetary donations. But time spent acquiring donated items or gift cards absolutely counts. For example, time to drive to the store to purchase items for a school event counts; the amount of money spent at the store doesn't count.
