Are your teachers licensed to teach in Washington State?

In what areas can I volunteer? Am I required to volunteer?
One of the reasons Cornerstone Christian School is such a strong school is because of our excellent parent-partnership program. We encourage families to be a part of their children's education process, and we provide many options to fit parents’ schedules. We require families to volunteer a minimum of ten hours per trimester, or pay a $50.00 per trimester volunteer fee. We prefer that parents only pay the volunteer fee if there is absolutely no possible way for them to partner with the school as a volunteer.
