Parent Volunteer Opportunities

We are honored to have a wonderful parent community that partners with us so closely by helping with celebrations, festivals, and other activities, and we would love for you to be a part of it! This is a wonderful opportunity to contribute to our school community and make a real difference in the daily lives of our students and staff.

How Can You Help?

Your support is incredibly valuable, and we have several key areas where we need help. Our biggest needs are for daily support in the following areas:

      • Lunch Room: Help ensure a smooth and enjoyable lunch experience for our students. This could include opening baggies for our younger students and helping wipe down tables between grade level lunches.
      • Library: Assist our librarian with shelving books, creating our book catalogue, helping students, and keeping our library organized.
      • Copy Room: Provide essential support by helping staff prepare materials for the classroom.

Beyond these daily needs, we also need volunteers to help with spirit and social events throughout the year or helping manage our lost and found. For a full list of committee and volunteer opportunities please look here.

Support for Major events such as grade level celebrations, field trips supervisors, and Field Day support will continue to be sent through email and sign up as we approach each event. We are specifically looking to increase parent volunteer support on campus that will impact the lives of our students and staff on a daily or weekly basis.
