St. Xavier High School
Parent Prefect Volunteer Opportunity
2022-2023
The school needs you!!!
Parent volunteers serve the school by monitoring classes for teachers who are chaperoning student retreats, attending professional meetings, or out for some other professional reason. By performing these services in place of faculty members who would otherwise take these duties, prefects are freeing teachers to meet with students and prepare for their classes.
No teaching experience is necessary. Teachers prepare assignments for students to do on their own. The prefects simply supervise the students as they do these assignments in their regular classrooms.
The prefect volunteer coordinator will send out a weekly Sign-Up Genius for you to sign up to volunteer. You decide how many hours you would like to volunteer in any given week, and you can design your volunteer hours around your schedule. For example, some volunteers serve 1-2 hours weekly, while some just 1-2 hours a month. It’s very flexible. In addition to helping the school, you will have the opportunity to have an insider’s experience of the workings of the school.
If you would like to be a Parent Prefect or would like more information about the program, please contact our parent prefect volunteer coordinator, Ruth Ward, at rward@starone.com or call her at (513) 708-4400. Once she hears from you, she will send you more information about the program, how to get you registered with the school, and add your contacts details to the prefect email distribution list.
There will be a group in-person training session on Wednesday, August 31, 2022 at 9:00 a.m. for Parent Prefects. The training session will take place in the Barrett Center. New and returning volunteers are invited to attend. If you are unable to attend this meeting, Ruth will send you detailed instructions via email and she will be available for questions.
