Check the Montgomery County Volunteer Center's webpage to find agencies that have volunteer positions approved by Montgomery County Public Schools for Student Service Learning credit.

If the agency that you wish to earn SSL credit through is not on the approved list of agencies, you must fill out MCPS Form 560-50 (2/07), Special Activity Application for Student Service Learning, in advanceof starting the volunteer work. Submit the form to the Student Service Learning coordinator who will review the activity and determine if it fulfills Montgomery County Public Schools' Special Activity Criteria. If the Special Activity for Student Service Learning is denied, you may appeal the decision to the principal of Hoover.

Once you complete your service activity, fill out the Verification of Student Service Learning Activity form 560-51 (rev. 3/07) according to the guidelines.

MCPS Forms 560-50 and 560-51 are available in the guidance office or online at the Student Service Learning Main Page.

Submit the form to Hoover's SSL coordinator, who will enter the hours into the system's computer. Hours will appear on the next quarter's report card.

Verification forms must be turned in for SSL credit hours the semester in which the activity was completed.
