P.I.E. Volunteers

Sign Up Here

Parents Involved in Education (P.I.E.) raises funds for the Excellence in Education program at Illiana Christian High School. P.I.E. is administered by a board of parents. Through the efforts of many volunteers, significant financial contributions are made each year to fund classroom purchases not covered by tuition. In addition, P.I.E offers lunch to students at cost. To encourage volunteer participation at the school, each Illiana family is assessed a “P.I.E. fee” of $200.00, which is billed on tuition statements in December. When parents volunteer, they will receive credit on their tuition statement to offset this fee. Please review the following programs:

Lunch Program

Lunch is offered to students five days a week. All lunches are pre-ordered and pre-paid, a month in advance on ParentsWeb. Lunch ordering will be open from the 1st through the 10th of each month. An email with detailed instructions will be sent to remind you when the lunch ordering “window” is open. Emergency lunches are available on a very limited basis and cash only. Drinks include free milk, white or chocolate; orange juice is also available and may be pre-ordered for $0.50. Other drinks, such as Gatorade, water and flavored water are available for cash purchase during lunch. Click here to sign up.

SCRIP

SCRIP is a tuition reduction program which can be started at any time. SCRIP gift cards or certificates are ordered online for everyday items like groceries, fuel, clothing, restaurants, gifts, etc. A percentage of your purchase is credited to your tuition account. Online ordering is available at www.shopwithscrip.com. Instructions and forms are available on our website by clicking here. For any SCRIP questions, please email the SCRIP Coordinator Jill Rozendal at scrip@illianaweb.org

A list of volunteer opportunities can be viewed here. To sign up, use a desktop or laptop. Mobile devices are not a dependable method. If you have a problem with the link, copy and paste it into your browser. For assistance, contact Kathie Neumeyer at kthln275@yahoo.com

Volunteering must be completed by a responsible member of your family (grandparent, parent, friend, or adult relative). When you sign up to participate in an event, you must be on time. If you find that you cannot participate on your assigned day or time, you must find your own responsible replacement in order to receive your P.I.E. credit. Click here to sign up.
