FAQS

  1. How many Service Learning hours are required?
    Class of 2024: 24 hours; Class of 2025: 32 hours; Class of 2026: 32 hours
  2. Can a student work for the same organization all four years?
    Yes.
  3. Can students work for multiple organizations during the same year ?
    Yes.   
  4. When can service learning hours be completed?
    Anytime during the year except during school hours.
  5. Where can the Service Learning hours be completed?
    Service Learning hours must be completed for a non-profit company or charity group, a school, city or state agency, or a licensed nursing home or daycare.  If a student is not sure if an organization qualifies, please seek approval before completing the hours. Helping a neighbor with babysitting or mowing their lawn does not qualify for service learning.
  6. Where do students turn in their completed form?
    Completed and signed Service Learning paperwork should be turned in to the locked drop box in the Assistant Principals' office.
  7. Will Service Learning be required for graduation?
    YES!!  Service Learning is a graduation requirement; if students do not complete service learning hours they may be denied a diploma. Additonally, work permits may be denied or revoked, and student athletes may not be permitted to play in league contests.
  8. Can a student be paid for the hours completed?
    NO.  Service Learning hours must be 100% voluntary.  No compensation of any kind is allowed.
  9. Can students miss school to complete the required Service Learning hours?
    No, unless the event is sponsored by RCHS or WUSD.
  10. Can students complete multiple years' requirements in one year?
    Yes! 
  11. Is there a penalty for  students who do not complete the required number of hours?
    Yes.  Seniors that have not completed Service Learning hours by the deadlines may have to appeal to have the deadline extended.  See  your Assistant Principal for the appeal process if you fall under this category.  In addition, Seniors will not receive a diploma and may be unable to participate in the graduation ceremony, as well as other Senior-specific events. All students can be denied a work permit or can have it revoked.  In addition, student athletes will be unable to play in league contests until the hours are brought current.  This means that if a Sophomore is playing football and hasn't any hours, that student may not play in league football games until at least 8 hours of Service Learning have been completed.
  12. Who does a student contact if he or she has questions about the Service Learning requirement?
    Please contact Mrs. Desmangles via email at sdesmangles@wusd.k12.ca.us
