Last quarter deadline/Summer Student Service Learning Hours
|
A) The last quarterly SSL deadline for the 2007-08 year is Friday, June 6th. Reminder: Hours billed this quarter can't be submitted in September. Please encourage your students to get their forms to Ms. Steward by Friday, June 6th!
B) Summer is a great time to do Student Service Learning (SSL). It can even sometimes be done in another state or country or as a CIT at a summer camp as long as it is with a non-profit organization and you get prior approval.
No matter what you do, be sure you get your paperwork done correctly now so you get the credit you deserve!
Student Service Learning activities need prior approval to receive credit if the organization does not appear on a list of pre-approved organizations established by the MCPS. To check this list go to: www.mcpsssl.org (http://www.mcpsssl.org/) and look in the blue box.
If it's on the list, go ahead with your service. No form is required to start.
Can't find it on the list? First, ask the organization if they are on the list and how they are listed.
It's still not on the list? You will need to submit an approval form. The basic criteria for approval is the organization must have non-profit status, there must be an authorized supervisor for the project, and the student cannot be paid for the work done.
Forms are available at www.mcpsssl.org (http://www.mcpsssl.org/).
Ms. Shannon Steward, the Pyle SSL Coordinator, will be giving approvals until June 12th (last day of school). She will be back in the office from July 7th through July 31st. Ms. Steward can be reached in the Main Office at 301 320 6540. She can also be reached at: Shannon_S_Steward@mcpsmd.org.
If you need approval in August, you will need to go to Ms. Pam Meador at the MCPS SSL main
office. Mrs. Meador, can be reached at 301-279-3454 and at: Pamela_A_Meador@mcpsmd.org. Contact Mrs. Meador to discover the best way to get your form to her depending on her schedule.
A few more tips...
- You can get a maximum of 8 hours of SSL a day.
- Travel time does not count.
- You will need a log of hours if you will have more than 20 hours.
- Keep your approval form in a safe place after Ms. Steward or Ms. Meador signs it. You will need it when you
report your hours in September.
If you have any questions I am happy to help. Noelle McHugh (PTSA SSL liaison) email: NMcH1980@aol.com. 6/3/08
