Community Service General Information for 2025- 2026
Community Service in high school is purely voluntary. It is not tied to graduation or the type of diploma you receive, but you may earn a CSL seal for your diploma. The Class of 2026 will return to the requirement of 80 hours of services. REMEMBER: The organization that you are working with should be NON-PROFIT. Social Studies teachers will have a record of the hours in the resource folder in Schoology that is updated once a month - once school resumes. If there are questions, please see Mrs. Bryant - room 55.
<>Submissions may be made at: https://forms.gle/yg3oHMEZsesk93ic7 - Linked below. You must be on your Henrico County account to submit. If you wish to drop-off a paper copy do so in the folder outside of room 55 on the bulletin board.
PLEASE BE SURE TO MAKE A COPY JUST IN CASE THE ORIGINAL DOES NOT MAKE IT TO A SPREADSHEET.
The Community Service form for 2025-2026 is under "Useful Links" (this is the same for summer). You will find a new Parental Letter for all students to complete before beginning service. This letter is only filled out once - it covers all 4 years.
If you create your own log sheet be sure that you have the following:
Name, Grade Level, Dates, Name and Contact information for the Supervisor
Service organization and the type of service rendered: ex. serving meals to the homeless
