VOLUNTEERING
Getting Involved
Parent and community involvement is essential to the successful education of our children. Volunteering for our school not only helps the students and staff, but most importantly shows the children that they are important to us. We appreciate the ways our volunteers help us and encourage you to become a part of our volunteer team.
Whether you are interested in donating products or services, volunteering for a single event, or would like to help out with one of the many committees, your involvement will make a HUGE difference! Parents, guardians, grandparents and older siblings are encouraged to volunteer.

Are there any volunteer guidelines?1. Respect the teacher's classroom and rules at all times. If helping in the classroom, make sure you know what time the teacher would like you to help. Keeping the learning environment consistent is priority. 2. Keep confidences. If a student or teacher reveals personal information, regard it as a confidence. 3. Set a good example for the students when at the school in words and deeds. Use positive comments and encourage students, especially when they are working on difficult things. 4. Be reliable and prompt. If you have to cancel or be absent, please find an alternate volunteer or contact the teacher or PTA Board member as soon as possible.
