Parent
participation has always been a critical part of our
program. Our goal is to provide opportunities for getting
everyone involved and create a greater sense of
community.
The FISH program is designed to:
Support
our school's philosophy, goals and objectives
which strive to:
Provide quality Catholic
education for our students
Model commitment to the
Gospel values
Foster on-going faith
formation for children and adults alike.
Create
a spirit of participation by celebrating the
talents of each family, and the importance of
their contribution to our school and parish
community.
Increase
the involvement of all adult memebers of our
parish school family by providing opportunities
for parents or guardians to become better
acquainted with one another and our school and
parish programs.

Program Details
Each
family is required to complete 40 hours of
service/involvement per year, with 10 hours being
directly school-related. A minimum of 20 hours of
FISH credit is due by the first reporting period.
Activities may be chosen from the lists of both
school and parish opportunities.
Each
family is responsible for logging and submitting
their hours on the FISH tally sheet included in your
registration packet. Extra copies will be
available in the school office. You may also
download a copy in our "Forms" section
Tally
sheets are due in January and May according to
the schedule listed in the FISHnet handbook.
Hours not completed will result in a $10 per hour
fee which is due and payable to the school each
reporting period. Late fees will be assessed as
necessary.
FISH
is a "parent" program. Volunteer
service by St. Irenaeus Parish School students
may not be credited for FISH hours.
Since
the program is mandatory and a condition of
enrolling your child(ren) at St. Irenaeus Parish
School, the program is seen with the same
seriousness as the payment of tuition. Fees owed
more than 45 days may result in students being
suspended from school. Families not meeting the
program requirements may be asked to withdraw
from the  school.
