Important Message About Your Volunteer Account
Dear CCA Volunteers,
On Wednesday, June 21, 2023, we wiped our Volunteer Database (Volgistics) to keep it the most up-to-date. We ask that you now create your new 2023-2024 school year account. To create your new account please visit this link: Volgistics Create a New Account. Please only create ONE account per household as we are unable to link individual accounts.
If you have earned any summer hours please add those to your new 2023-2024 Volunteer account in Volgistics.
As a reminder, all CCA families are required to volunteer 40 hours each school year. Single parents are required to volunteer 20 hours each school year. CCA will update each individual registered in Volgistics as a Volunteer at the end of each quarter. This report will help you track your volunteer hours throughout the school year.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at rbrooks@cherrycreekacademy.org.
Thank you for volunteering!
