Current Volunteer Opportunities
Room ParenT
Room Parents serve as a link between the classroom teacher and families of students by organizing classroom support in the form of contributions and volunteers. Room Parents also help build community by organizing a classroom directory and facilitating communications. Room Parents will also help organize at least one grade-wide community event like a playground meet-up. Time commitment can vary, but typically 2-3 hours per month.
Recess runners
The Recess Runners Program is a fun, active initiative where students run, jog, or walk laps around the playground loop during recess. Volunteers play a key role by supporting students during recess, tracking laps, cheering them on, and keeping the program running smoothly and safely. If you can give an hour, during the middle of the day, your presence makes a huge difference.
