• Parent-Teacher Club

  1. Each school in the Archdiocese has a Parent-Teacher organization to promote parental support for the school programs, increase mutual understanding between school and parents and reduce obstacles to effective communication.
  2. The St. Francis School Parents Club serves as a link between school and home. All parents and teachers are members, and officers are elected each year. The club meets on the 1^st Tuesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. and functions in a variety of ways to service the school.
  3. The main objective of the Parent-Teacher Club is to raise funds for the school’s operations.
  4. There are three main fundraisers for the school during the year:  Jog-a-Thon, Auction, and Bar Buffet Bingo.  An ongoing fundraiser is Scrip.
  5. Each family is required to purchase a minimum of $2,000 worth of Scrip throughout the year. Each family can earn ‘Scrip rewards’ to be applied to the next year’s registration fee.  To earn ‘Scrip rewards’, a family must purchase enough scrip to have earned the school $100 in profit.  After that goal is reached, 50% of any other purchase profit is credited to the family’s account for next year’s registration fee.  Scrip is always available for purchase through designated sellers.
  6. The St. Francis Parents Club will comply with these general norms:
  7. It will have no legal status apart from the school.
  8. It will function in accordance with a written constitution that complies with all current provisions of Archdiocesan and local policy governing the structure and operation of such an organization.
  9. Recommendations and actions of the organization are subject to all Archdiocesan school regulations and policies.
  10. The Parent/Teacher Club is accountable to the principal and the pastor.
