PALS
Parents Actively Lending Support
Parents at Bradshaw Christian School are active and involved and work together with students, teachers, support staff and administration bringing glory to God in the School’s daily activities. We believe that volunteering is spiritually rewarding and the PALS Volunteer Program was designed to encourage parent participation in their student’s education.
Opportunities to volunteer on campus abound! Ask your student's teachers, coaches, and office staff where you can get involved. There are opportunities to earn PALS hours during the school day, in the evenings, and on weekends.

Required Hours for Later Registration
For families who join BCS later in the year, please calculate required hours as follows:
Elementary, MS, and HS students: Count the number of months remaining in the school year through May (10 months max). Multiply that number by 1.5 for single parent families or 2.5 for two parent families.
Example: A two-parent family begins in December. There are 6 months left in the school year (December – May). Multiply 6 x 2.5 = 15 hours.
Preschool only families: Count the number of months remaining in the school year through May (10 months max). Multiply that number by the appropriate hours on the preschool chart and multiply by .10.
Example: A single-parent family begins in January. There are 5 months left in the school year (January - May). Multiply 5 x 7 x .10 = 3.5 hours.
