What is the HSA?
The Home and School Association (HSA) at St. Joseph’s School is responsible for coordinating a strong and active volunteer program. Volunteer programs range from organizing and implementing various annual fundraisers to volunteering for school day activities such as room parents, lunch helpers, field trip drivers etc. All volunteers who work directly with students are required to attend a “Safe Environment Workshop” and have a criminal background check.
Who is the HSA?
All parents of St. Joseph’s School students are automatically members of the HSA.
The HSA Board is comprised of eight elected and appointed officers. All parents are encouraged and welcome to attend the monthly HSA board meetings which are generally held on the third Tuesday of the month at 2pm in the Parish Hall. Elections for the next school year are held in the spring.

How does the HSA benefit the school?
Volunteerism at St. Joseph’s School provides an opportunity to:
• Involve parents actively in the school and the education of their children.
• Allow teachers to spend more time directly with the children.
• Minimize school tuition.
The HSA requires each family to volunteer a minimum of 20 hours or more during the course of the school year. There are many volunteer activities available, so parents may choose activities that interest them and utilize their skills. For parents who work outside the home, we have activities that can be done at home or on the weekends. We encourage both moms and dads to participate in our programs. If a parent has questions or concerns about the volunteer commitment, please contact any HSA board member.
