Questions?: Cathy Johnson or Evie Lay

Middle School students in Upper Arlington are asked to complete five hours of community service each year. If your child is volunteering anywhere this year or even just out shoveling a neighbor’s driveway (and not getting paid), those things count toward hours.

The information about community service and logging hours is on the Hastings website: https://hastings.uaschools.org/academic-program/community-service

We will be working with students to help them log hours later this month. Students should see their grade level counselor if they have questions.
