Volunteer at PCA

Parents Encouraging Academic Knowledge (PEAK)

Every year, PEAK will help to oversee the needs and development of the school. We help by raising funds to provide a wide range of educational enrichment programs for our students. The money we raise helps to fund the STEM and Art instruction to all grades, books, classroom supplies, and a lot more. PEAK will be governed by a set of adopted bylaws and by the elected Executive Board that shall consist of the following officers: President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and Parliamentarian. Officer positions can be shared. The Headmaster or his/her designee, is a voting member of the Executive Board.

Volunteer Commitment for Families

Admittance to PCA carries a parental requirement of at least 4 hours a semester of volunteer service per year. Parents must complete a Volunteer Form and express their areas of interest and/or expertise. There are many ways parents can volunteer including: carpool assistance, traffic patrol, copy room help, lunch/recess coverage, marketing/publicity, fundraising (book fair, special lunches, school merchandise), school beautification, providing food for teacher hospitality lunches, chaperoning field trips, etc. All volunteer forms and information are located on the website for easy access.

Visitor Volunteers

Pinnacle Classical Academy is committed to creating and maintaining a safe environment for the education of youth. We also recognize the benefit in parent-volunteers being actively involved with that education at the school. Therefore, all volunteers working one-on-one with students or going on field trips must submit to a criminal background check. Pinnacle Classical Academy conducts background checks on all non-parent volunteers every three years. Background checks will be conducted the first time the parent/guardian offers to volunteer, and each time the parent/guardian's child has advanced to the next level (elementary to intermediate, and intermediate to high school). Convictions for the misdemeanors and felonies listed in § 115C-332 (a)(1) may disqualify applicants from employment and volunteering. The fee charged to the volunteer is $10.00 and payable at the main office. It is due regardless of whether the volunteer is approved or disqualified. DISQUALIFICATION TO VOLUNTEER IS LEFT AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF THE HEADMASTER. CONVICTIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR DISQUALIFICATION.
