Getting Involved
The parent-school partnership is essential to the success of our students and the Duchesne community as a whole. Duchesne values our strong, involved parent community, and we depend on you to give your time and talent for the benefit of our students, faculty and staff. In addition, volunteering is a wonderful way to get involved in the Duchesne family, and we offer a wide range of opportunities to lend your support!
Creating exciting, successful fundraisers and events ultimately benefits our students by keeping the Duchesne community strong. Foresight and Dream Home Sweepstakes profits are critical to our annual operating budget; the Pioneer Fund keeps tuition at a moderate level; recruitment events keep our enrollment competitive; and booster groups support co-curricular programs.
In the same way that we expect our students to provide community service during their years at Duchesne, we ask that each parent participate in as many school service activities as possible. Here are some of the ways our parents help us during the school year:
- Foresight dinner auction: Supervising a committee, designing decorations, acquiring gifts, serving refreshments, organizing volunteers, set-up and clean-up
- Dream Home Sweepstakes: Providing administrative help, selling tickets
- High School Night and/or Open House: Welcoming families, answering questions, and coordinating visitor registration
- Event Hospitality: Setting up and serving refreshments at school events (Back-to-School Night, Open House, Freshman Registration)
- Phonathons and/or telephoning: Making Pioneer Fund and capital campaign calls, calling prospective parents to answer questions and share experiences
- Fine Arts Ambassadors: Assisting with sets and costumes, greeting and ushering audience members, helping with fundraising efforts
- Dance chaperone: Supervising at the Grade School Mixer, Homecoming, Coronation and Prom
- Administrative help: Providing help at Duchesne on an as-needed basis (stuffing, collating, labeling, copying, data entry)
With your summer mailing, you will receive a parent volunteer form that allows you to tell us how you would like to help. If you have questions or would like to get involved, please call the Office of Advancement at (636) 946-2603. Thank you for helping to keep our community strong!
