Parent Involvement

Volunteers

We have many different areas and ways that you can volunteer in our classes.  We appreciate your help!

 ● Class store: We depend on volunteers to make this store run!  Once a month parent volunteers manage the store by assisting with set-up and clean-up as well as helping students write their checks and make purchases. Donations for the class store are also appreciated.

● Homeroom Parent: Each class will have a homeroom parent for the school year.  The homeroom parent is in charge of classroom parties, contacting other parents, etc. The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) will be working with this person.

● Book orders: Book orders are sent home at various times in the year. Volunteers can help collect and organize orders.  When these orders are received we also can use help distributing books.

● Field trips:  Parents are invited to attend various field trips throughout the year.          

● In the classroom: Volunteering in the classroom can include a variety of activities: laminating, copying, and working with small groups.
