Your willingness to lend a hand is invaluable, and it significantly enhances our ability to provide a rich array of activities and experiences for our students.

To become a school volunteer there are strict requirements that must be completed before you may begin. Please email Jeanne Blake at bl****@************ic.net for volunteer instructions.
Background checks/fingerprinting has a new system to process through. You must make an appointment with St. Paul Catholic School to start your background screening through the AHCA Clearinghouse and must be resubmitted every 5 years. Safe Environment courses are to be completed every 5 years with the exception for Athletic Coaches taking “Blood Borne Pathogens” every year and CYSL courses every year with NFHSLearn. If you need to check on your status as a current volunteer please email Jeanne Blake for instructions on how to log into Virtusonline.org to check your volunteer information or retake any courses due. Payment for your background check can be made by either writing a check made out to St. Paul Catholic School, or make payment through your FACTS account.

Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)
The purpose of the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is to promote and encourage communication between parents, teachers, administration, and the community. The PTO also sponsors and organizes fundraising and school events which deepen our community spirit and enrich our children’s educational, social, and developmental experiences at St. Paul Catholic School. All parents of St. Paul Catholic School students are members of the PTO with membership dues incorporated in the yearly tuition.
School Advisory Council
The purpose of the School Advisory Council (SAC) is to advise the Pastor of St. Paul Parish and the Principal of St. Paul Catholic School in the organization and operation of the School. The SAC does not exercise any actual authority with respect to the administration of the School but rather acts solely in an advisory capacity. This is to ensure that the interests and concerns of the school families are effectively considered in support of the delivery of a strong Catholic education to St. Paul Catholic School students. Standing committees of the SAC are discussed below. Please refer to our Handbook for more information on the SAC.
Finance Council
The Finance Council is a standing committee of the School Advisory Council and is responsible for the preparation and monitoring of the annual school budget and drafting a long-term financial plan for the school.

This also includes development, school planning, fundraising, and alumni relations.
