Parental Involvement at ISCHS All parents are encouraged to be an active participant in their child’s education. ISCHS offers many opportunities for parents to complete volunteer hours both during and after the school day. Parents are required to complete 20 volunteer hours per year for their 1st child enrolled in the school (10 hours thereafter per sibling). There are many ways to volunteer! Please contact either our Activities Director, Athletic Director, or PTSA President to learn about the various ways you can become involved!
