Parent Volunteering

At Our Lady of Lourdes School, we count on our students’ parents to be our partners in their education. We recognize that parents are the child's first teachers, and we respect their right to make decisions and choices for their children. We provide the support and structure that the families of Our Lady of Lourdes need in today’s world as they prepare for the world of tomorrow.

We encourage parents to become involved in school activities, create social opportunities with other families, and participate in the numerous volunteer opportunities available.

We are committed to communicating with parents regularly through email, class newsletters, FACTS family portal, by phone, and through parent-teacher conferences. We ask parents to share any concerns they may have about their child's progress with their child’s teachers or Mr. Long as soon as possible. Our difficulties can be solved if we work together.

Child Protection Program

All parents, grandparents, or relatives wishing to volunteer for any school-sponsored activity must complete the requirements of the Archdiocese of Washington's Child Protection Program before participation.
