NEW POLICY REGARDING ICNS COMMITEES

Hello ICNS parents! It's time for another committee update. First of all, thank you so much to each family who has been contributing to their committee and writing down what they did on the Committee Log-In chart, located by the sign in sheets. We really appreciate all you do to help our school run efficiently. Unfortunately, not everyone is doing their committee work. This is a real problem. We are a parent co-operative and therefore dependent upon the work that each of the parents contribute. When parents fail to fulfill committee responsibilities it means that essential tasks are left undone and that other parents, teachers or the director must step in and take over their work.

In an effort to ensure that each family is fulfilling their obligation to complete 3 hours of committee work per month (as stated in the contract each family signed upon enrollment at the school), the Board of Directors voted to establish a fine that must be paid by each family that has not fulfilled their committee obligations for the month. The best way to track if families are contributing to their committees is by what you write down on the Committee Log In. Beginning March 1st I will check the log in at the end of each month, and if there is no entry next to your name, a fine will be assessed. Please log in your committee contributions on this chart to avoid a fine. It was determined that a fine of $20 will be assessed for each month if committee responsibilities are not fulfilled. I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the Board has determined that this is necessary in order for our school to run as efficiently as possible and to ensure that each of our parents are contributing. Think of the positive environment we will be creating for our children if each parent steps up to fulfill their committee assignments! Thank you so much for your help in this and I sincerely hope that no one incurs this fine!

  • Complete your committee work each week/month
  • Record your completed work on the Committee Log In sheet
  • Ask questions if you are unsure of your committee responsibilities
  • Pay a fine if you fail to complete your committee responsibilities
