Parent Involvement
Whether your child is just starting kindergarten, entering the final year of high school, or is somewhere in between, there are many good reasons and opportunities for you to volunteer at school.
It's a great way to show your child that you take an interest in his or her education, and it sends a positive message that you consider school a worthwhile place.
There are many opportunities for parents to volunteer** at our school:
~act as a classroom helper
~mentor or tutor students
~volunteer in a school computer lab
~help organize, cater, or work at fundraising activities such as bake sales or car washes
~act as a lunchroom or playground monitor
~help to plan and chaperone field trips, track meets, and other events that take place away from the school
~help to plan and chaperone in-school events (i.e., dances, proms, or graduation ceremonies)
~organize or assist with a specific club or interest group
(if you have an interest in an activity that isn't currently available to students, offer to help get a group started - for example, a chess club or cycling team)
~assist coaches and gym teachers with sports and fitness programs
~attend school board meetings
~sew costumes or build sets for theatrical and musical productions
~help out with visual arts, crafts, and design courses and projects
