The data in the Required Service Signup was accidentally deleted. We believe that we have recovered all the signups that were made before that happened; however, we don't want it to happen, again. The board is considering other ways to host the signup such that the data is preserved from accidental deletion.
We will re-open Required Service Signup on July 1st.
Thank you for your patience.

Required Service Information
Service hours are an annual requirement for all Link families. Families are required to sign up for hours according to the number of classes their students will be attending (not including study halls). You can choose duties that are most convenient for you on a first come, first served basis. Families that have not signed up for their required service hours by the day after Orientation will have a fee assessed (based on $25 per service hour) and added to their account.
As an aid to families that cannot make the time to serve, the Link can hire workers to complete the required responsibilities for you. The cost will be $25 per hour owed. If you desire to make a financial contribution in the place of your service commitment, please see the Pay Instead information below.
Because we cannot run the Link without the timely help from our families, those that fail to show up for their scheduled time (without notifying the Link ahead of time) will be charged a $50 fee per hour missed. This charge will be added to the family's account on the website.
Please select your preferred service activities and times on the service chart. If something comes up and you need to switch responsibilities with another family, please use the family phone list to find the contact information for the other families. If you are unable to find a replacement, you may pay $25 in advance of your commitment, and the Link will hire student workers to complete your job. You must pay the $25 and notify the administrator by Sunday at 5pm before your volunteer commitment on Tuesday.
When serving, please reserve cell phone use to emergencies only.
Parents are welcome to bring younger children when they serve, with the exception of the Dad on Duty role. We ask that children remain with parents while they serve.

The formula for calculating the number of hours of your annual service commitment is:
- 1/2 class taken (one semester only) = 3 hours
- 1 class = 6 hours
- 1.5 classes = 6 hours
- 2 classes = 8 hours
- 2.5 classes = 8 hours
- 3 classes = 9 hours
- 3.5 classes = 9 hours
- 4 classes = 10 hours
- 4.5 classes = 10 hours
- 5 classes = 11 hours
- 5.5 classes = 11 hours
- 6 classes = 12 hours
- 6.5 classes = 12 hours
- 7 classes = 13 hours
- 7.5 classes = 13 hours
- 8+ classes = 14 hours
We acknowledge this is an increase in hours from last year. However, becuase of the size of the new building, it's very important to have extra monitors.
