Parent & Community Volunteers

"Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart."

There are many opportunities for parents and community members to contribute their time and talents to the school. Everyone benefits from these contributions. You will receive information on volunteer opportunities throughout the year through classroom teachers, school announcements and through our parent volunteer coordinator if you have filled out the form indicating your interest. Please call the school office if you have questions regarding these volunteering opportunities.

Many of the opportunities below require a background check through the school district when you are working with or supervising students. You can find more information regarding the background check through the Volunteer Background Check link. If you are in the building for a visit or volunteering, please follow the school safety plan by stopping at the office, signing in and wearing a visitor/volunteer name tag.
