DCSS requires each single student family to volunteer a minimum of 20 hours and 30 hours for multiple students attending our school. We're half way through our first quarter. You should have at least 1-2 volunteer hours by now. If you don't, there's different ways of earning your volunteer hours. Look at the very bottom of this flyer for more information on how to earn volunteer hours.

Still don't have your hours in? There are 3 options available:

1) Volunteer at events, classroom, cafeteria during lunch time, and/or chaperone at a field trip.

2) Donate to the used uniform sale before the end of this school year (donations made at front office). Each piece = 30 minutes

3) Donate $10 for each volunteer hour needed. Money goes to such things as our PBS parties and Awards Ceremonies for next year, recess equipment, music/band equipment, or technology. Checks can be made to Duval Charter School at Southside, and may be dropped off at the front office. Please write your Child's Name, Grade and Teacher to ensure proper credit.
