As a requirement at Oxford Academy of Miami Charter School parent agreement, 15 service hours must be completed by the end of the school year, and 7.5 additional hours for each additional child in the family. There are many ways you can complete your hours, and in doing so you will help your child's school!
The first step to begin your service hours, is to make sure you have been cleared by the district.

- Field trips: Oxford tries to have 1 field trip every month. Two chaperones per kindergarten class are allowed to attend. In order to make it as fair as possible, as well as, give as many parents/guardians an opportunity to attend a field trip, picking will go as followed: All students' names will be put into a bag, two students' names will be drawn from the bag (per each class). Once two names have been drawn, those parents will be notified immediately. We must know within 2 days if you can attend or not attend. If for any reason the parent/guardian can not attend that particular field trip, we will pick another name. We ask parents to be as patient as possible, and we will most definitely advise you of any field trips which MAY allow more than 2 chaperones.
- Cafeteria duties (hours vary on how long you stay): Lunch is a great way you can complete your hours. How you can help in the cafeteria: serving food, helping the younger ones, cleaning up after each lunch, etc...
- P.E. (hours vary on how long you stay): You may also earn service hours by helping Coach Carlucci during P.E. time.
- Donations: If you have a busier work schedule, or you prefer to donate something to the school and/or classroom, that would be great too! If you wish to donate something to your child's classroom, please be assured it will most definitely be put to good use. Please check our wish list which is posted outside our classrooms.
- If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask! :)
