Welcome to the Garces PSI Program
The Garces Parent Service Involvement Program (PSI) is our online parent communications and hours program. Garces has partnered with PTO Manager, a web-based tool that helps us manage our volunteer hours and student activities. Families are asked to contribute 20 service hours per year. Once you've completed your hours, you are free to volunteer without the paperwork! You can email your questions anytime to kaguilar@garces.org

FAQ:
What are my hours worth?
$15/hr for volunteering time or for donations. The only exception is water and Gatorade which are assessed at three cases (24-count) of water or two 8-packs of Gatorade. Due to the ever-changing cost, we thought we’d simplify drinks. For example, you can get a great deal on water at Fresh & Easy. Water cases are regularly $2.99 and can go on sale for 2 for $5.00
How many hours are required per school year?
Families are asked to work 20 hours per school year. This can include mom, dad and/or grandparents. A family cannot contribute hours to another family. Say for example, the Smiths work 30 hours in a school year. They cannot transfer 10 hours to the Taylor family.
How are my hours counted?
Parents are asked to have the event coordinator sign off their PSI forms. You can drop them off at the front office. Don’t rely on just signing your name on a list. Your hours won’t be counted. Please fill out a PSI form and have the coordinator sign it off. You are encouraged to make a copy of your hours. You can download the PSI form here
