澳门威尼斯人平台官网 embraces community service as an extension of service-learning and believes this service is a philosophy of experiential learning in which students participate not only to meet the needs of the community, but also to develop critical thinking skills, 恪守价值观, and skills for effective citizenship.

学生 who acquire 500 hours of qualified community service will receive a designation on their permanent academic transcript to recognize their achievement. 除了, they will receive special recognition in commencement publications and receive a service cord that they can wear at graduation.

4. No credit will be given for co-curricular activities (i.e., student organization functions, 实习, 批改试卷, participating in school performance activities that are related to or required by another class, 管理运动队, 等.). 换句话说, a public service organization must be the primary beneficiary of community service projects/time.
5. No credit for service will be given for court-required or other punitive service.
6. Non-charitable service will not be counted (babysitting for individuals, volunteering at high school sporting events, 年度乐队比赛, 教主日学/VBS, singing for services at your local religious organization, 等.).
