Volunteering Opt-Out Fee

Skopos philosophy of education requires parent involvement, and one parent from each family is expected to volunteer at the school for 30 hours a school year. In situations where work commitments, etc. make this impossible, we have an opt-out fee as a second-best option. The volunteering opt-out fee is $540 per year (payable in $18 an hour times how many hours not completed) If neither volunteering nor the opt-out fee is a viable option for your family, please contact us about a scholarship to cover the opt-out fee.

VOLUNTEERING GUIDELINES

– If you are grading student work, please remember that student grades and progress should be kept confidential.
