What is PSI?
Parent-School Involvement (PSI) is a program instituted by Bishop Montgomery for several reasons:
- To provide a platform for social activities among parents. A key indicator of an effective school is a high level of parental support and involvement in curricular and extra curricular activities.
- To provide parents with a feeling of ownership and investment.
- To provide necessary assistance for the school, its teachers, coaches, staff, and students that would otherwise be an expense to the school.
Through the PSI Program, all parents are required to make a commitment of ten (10) hours to school involvement per semester. Involvement hours will be given for any physical hours volunteered at BMHS on projects benefiting:
- Student Activities
- Team Activities
- Campus Beautification Activities
- Student Organizations
- Office
- Classroom
- Campus Security and Traffic Control
Involvement hours may be given for refreshments only if these refreshments are needed by an organization or team or if solicited by a school organization or team for a specific purpose. The maximum hours given for baked goods or refreshments is 2 hours (unless a special need is met and this same need was pre-approved in writing by a BMHS administrator). Please attach a receipt when you submit this form.
