South Bay Chinese School is a volunteer and parent run organization. Parents are required to complete at least 2 volunteer activities and attend at least 2 out of 3 parent association (PA) meetings during the academic year. If you are unable to attend a PA meeting, you can makeup each missed PA meeting by attending a board meeting.
➡️ Service Participation (SP) Deposit: All families will be required to pay a refundable $300 deposit (1 deposit per family). Teachers are exempt from the SP deposit. This includes $50 for each PA Meeting and $100 for each volunteer activity. The $300 Service Participation Deposit will be refunded to you at the end of the school year if you have completed all the PA meeting & volunteer activity requirements.
➡️ Parent Association Fee: Parent Association (PA) Fee of $40 per student gives the parent(s) 1 vote per student. For example, for elections, if the parent(s) register 3 students, they will receive 3 votes. PA membership is mandatory and non-refundable.
➡️ Yearbook Fee: Each family must purchase at least 1 yearbook ($40). Yearbook purchase is mandatory.
After your registration has been reviewed, we will email you an invoice with instructions to pay by Zelle or check.
