Fair Share

The Fair Share program engages each family in the CJP community by requiring volunteer hours. Adult family members will have many opportunities to complete Fair Share. 2 Fair Share hours will be given to families who join the PTO. 

The Fair Share program volunteer annual requirements are as follows:

• Child in school 3 days per week 6 hours
• Child in school 5 days per week 10 hours

CJP is aware that some parents will need activities outside of school hours. We will strive to provide a variety of volunteer opportunities from which families can choose. Parents will receive credit for actual hours worked and will be required to record hours periodically online. 

Examples of Fair Share opportunities include:

• Join the CJP PTO
• Serve on a PTO committee
• Be a room parent (6 hours)
• Volunteer at the Book Fair
• Volunteer at Open House
• Challah bagging & distribution
• Deliver hot lunches
• Count Tzedakah
• School beautification projects

Parents may make monetary payment in lieu of Fair Share time at a rate of $30 per hour.  Combinations of Fair Share work with a monetary payment are also permissible.  As a Reggio Emilia inspired school, we believe that partnership between home and school is crucial for children's success.  Therefore we highly encourage CJP families to engage with the school instead of monetary contributions.
