Special Edition: Log your volunteer hours

Kingsley Parents,

Before schedules get any more hectic, please take a few minutes to log into K12 Ambit and log your volunteer time THIS WEEK! Even if you haven't kept a detailed log, please estimate!

The current K12 reports show only 78 families who've met the annual commitment of 16 hours and only 31 families who've meet the Charter Challenge (32 or more hours).  We know this report does not reflect what's actually happened this year. We see all of you at the school helping in the classroom and at special events. It has to be that you simply haven't logged your time. 

Why Logging Hours is Important:
  • Each Kingsley family commits to serve the school with at least 16 hours per year through assistance with the classroom, school, events, or donations.
  • In our Charter document, we committed to DCSS and the Georgia Board of Education that our families would continue to be actively involved in the school. When it comes time to renew our Charter, we will be held accountable using the hours logged in K12.
  • Often when we apply for grants, the sponsoring company wants to see that the parents are committed to the school and are not looking for someone to provide funding for a quick fix. The hours you log in K12 help us tell the story of how committed our parents are to making Kingsley exceptional!

To log your hours:
  1. Go to http://k12ambit.com/Portal/
  2. Log into K12 Ambit using the login profile you created at the beginning of the year.
  3. Click Volunteer Activities in the top left corner.
  4. Enter your activities.

As a reminder, the following rules apply for logging hours:
  • 1 hour for attending an event (1 hour per family, not per parent)
  • For cooked items for classes, 1 hour for home made items and 0.5 hours for purchased items
  • Actual amount of time worked for any events or activities you've assisted with.

If you have any questions about what qualifies or need help logging time, please send an email to council@kingsleycharter.org.

Thank you, and thank you all you do to support our school, teachers, and kids.

Your Charter Council Representatives
