FAMILY STEWARDSHIP

HOME > Parents > Family Stewardship

The NCS Family Stewardship Program is a partnership between our school and our families, designed to harness the diverse strengths and talents within our community. By increasing family participation, we aim to help defray costs and build a stronger, more connected school environment.

Our school depends on the active involvement of our families. To that end, we require each family of K-12 students to contribute 20 hours of stewardship* each year. These hours can be fulfilled in a variety of flexible ways—whether in the classroom, at home, on a field trip, or during school events. There’s truly something for everyone. And, volunteering is not limited to parents—grandparents, guardians, and other family members are welcome to contribute, and their hours will count toward your family’s total. While 20 hours is the minimum requirement, additional service is always welcomed and deeply appreciated.

*Active duty military families are only required to complete 10 volunteer hours per year. If this applies to your situation, please contact the finance office to have your invoice adjusted.

*Families of students enrolled for less than 5 classes are not required to complete stewardship hours.

Together, we can make a lasting impact on our school community. Thank you for your commitment to NCS!

Stewardship Invoices

Stewardship invoices of $350 will be added to your account at the beginning of the school year and are due by June 30. Any stewardship hours submitted by June 15 will be credited to your account ($17.50 per hour) and reflected on the invoice before the due date.

Documenting Stewardship Hours

Stewardship hours must be submitted through your FACTS Family Portal:

  1. Log in to your Family Portal (District Code NC-WA)
  2. Navigate to Family > Family Home
  3. Under Service Hours, select the appropriate family member
  4.  Enter:
  • The date the service was completed
  • The number of hours
  • A brief description of the activity
  • The name of the NCS staff member who can verify your service (for the “Verified by” field)

IMPORTANT:
You can view your total submitted hours at any time throughout the school year. Please do not submit hours until they are completed—pre-dating is not allowed.

Required Paperwork for Volunteering

All individuals volunteering with students—whether on or off campus—must complete a background check. Background checks are valid for the current school year.

Stewardship Opportunities

Athletics are always looking for volunteers during the school year. It is not necessary to have a student in sports to volunteer.  All volunteer hours count towards your family stewardship hours.
