Ram Family
Ram Family is the St. Mary’s Parent Organization and supports the efforts of the school in educating the next generation to live and uphold the Gospel teachings of Jesus Christ.
Visit each Team page to see which one might be the best fit for your talents.
Ram Family works with parents and faculty to organize and facilitate events both during and after school hours that serve to enrich our children's educational experiences and build a stronger community. Ram Family began in 2022 as a way to continue and grow community support for our wonderful school!
Why should I serve in the Ram Family?
1. You get to meet and work with wonderful people! 2. You stay updated and informed on what is going on at our school. 3. You can more effectively suggest change at our school. 4. Everyone has different strengths and talents and has something unique to offer our school and children! 5. Children perform better at school academically and socially when a parent is involved in their education and school life.
Does it take a lot of time?
Yes and no--it depends on the position. Some duties can be performed from home and some require your presence at the school. Some positions are seasonal and some require some effort for most of the year. Some positions work well if you decide to do them with a friend. Explore which position would be right for you. The time you donate to actively participate in your child's school is time well spent. It shows our children that we care about what they do every day.
What is Track It Forward?
It is the tool St. Mary’s families’ use to document and monitor service hours and commitment dollars. You can log all of our information online via the web or mobile app. Learn more about it here! If you have further questions, please contact your classroom sponsor.
Do you have to be a parent to serve in the Ram Family?
No! We love grandparents, older siblings, aunts, and uncles – any extended family that loves St. Mary’s and the students who work here. We do ask that family members have a current EIM certification on file if volunteering at the school.
What is an EIM (Virtus) certification?
EIM certification is a requirement in the Diocese of Austin so that adults can be equipped with the tools and knowledge to protect children in an instance of possible abuse. This is required for any parent who wishes to chaperone a field trip, attend class parties, or volunteer on campus at any time.
Information about registration for new volunteers, as well as EIM training is available at https://austindiocese.org/eim Please contact your site administrator or [email protected] with questions or concerns. You can also go here to learn more. Please email questions to [email protected] or call the school office 512-352-2313.
