Join A Group and Add Goals

JOIN your graduating class group

Then click FINISH

STEP 1:

STEP 2:

Click on the class you joined

Then check the GOALS that apply to you. (Should be First Trimester Hours, and Summer Hours if you completed any.) Then click Finish.

Community Service Board and Student Council Members:

You must join the group of the student group you are a part of in addition to joining your class group. These are found directly below the class groups on the Groups and Goals page. Community service board members should have a supplemental goal of 15 additional hours per trimester (in addition to their 5 hour per trimester class goal).ONLY join if you are a member of one of these student groups.

That’s it for setting up your account.

Now we’ll talk about using the system.

Three Ways to Log Your Hours

1. Add Hours to Recurring Activities (For projects that you do repeatedly).

To see your hours, click on “My Activity Hours”. This includes all of your hours from your St. Mark’s career.

NOTE: For anyone who does non-signup school activities like Genesis, you must now enter the hours for them as an activity of your own independently.

2. ADD AN ACTIVITY OF YOUR OWN(Equivalent to the old reporting forms).

3. Add hours for an activity that you signed up for through x2VOL (school-provided projects).

Adding Hours 1&2: Activity of Your Own

Choose a goal to apply your hours to a trimester goal (remember, 5 hours per trimester), or to your summer hours.

You can make this a Recurring Activity. Once you have recurring activities, you can easily add a new “instance” when you went by checking “Add From My Recurring Activities.”

Fill out the form in detail, like you would on the old hours reporting forms. Fill out the name of the activity, a description, contact information for a supervisor at the project, the date the project was completed, and the number of hours.

You MUST write a reflection for all personal activities. Reflect on what you did and why.

All hours entered will be audited, and any violations will be handled like cheating is under the Lion Tracks.

Adding Hours 3: Sign up through x2vol

Go to the School Center to find opportunities and sign up for them (This is the equivalent of the sign up sheets on the old Community Service Bulletin Board).

You can use x2vol to log hours not traditionally approved by the school

But the school will not approve these items. For example, if you served at a house of worship or somewhere where you received credit for your time externally, you can enter the hours into x2vol, but they will not count toward your goals (First Trimester requirements, etc.).

Edit or Delete ActivitiesBack on the My Activity Hours page, if you click an activity you can edit it or remove it from your log. You can also see whether the school has approved your hours from here.

Printing Your Service Log

x2VOL.- Enter all of your information correctly into the

database.- This is now the only option for tracking community

service hours. It is required.- If you can’t set up your account, have feedback, have

questions, or have technical problems – contact support@intelliVOL.com. Do not contact the Community Service Board, Ms. Day, or Sr. Correa.
