Volunteer
When parents volunteer, all students benefit.
We have volunteer opportunities for everyone, no matter how much time you have to give. Volunteering is a meaningful way to support the school and one of the best ways to connect with other families in our community.
PTA Meetings
Hear from our Principal and stay informed about what’s happening at school now and in the future. Join our monthly PTA meetings, generally held on Fridays, in person and virtually.
Low-Commitment Volunteering
Only have one or five hours to give? We have something for you! Get involved in preparing, running or cleaning up one or many events. Volunteer at the school library. Support teacher appreciation activities. Become a class parent. Even a small time commitment makes a big impact.
Leadership Roles
We offer event chair positions and small committee roles with manageable, clearly defined responsibilities. From joining the School Leadership Team, to running the Chess Program or Square 1 Art fundraiser, to planning schoolwide events like the Halloween Parade or the Gala, there’s truly something for everyone.
Join the Board
The Executive Board sets the direction for the PTA and spearheads our many initiatives. Serving on the Board is a rewarding way to support your child’s learning while building strong relationships with other families at the school. Joining the EB is a bigger time commitment. We ask all members to attend two meetings per month and help run PTA programs and events. Elections are held each June, and roles range in scope and leadership responsibility. .
