A room parent is a great way to help your student's teacher and be the liaison between the teacher and the parents. Some of your responsibilities will include: coordinating a monthly team snack with other room parents from your grade, class birthday treat for your teacher, organizing holiday party help. Minimal time involved with this one.

Great for dads and grandparents to get involved. Does include giving up a weekday from 7am-3:15pm, but this year you will be able to really make a difference on campus with an active presence: carline, perimeter checks, lunchroom monitor, recess, classroom help, etc. An info meeting with take place in September so stay tuned

Volunteer to assist librarian with various tasks. Please contact the librarian to coordinate volunteer needs.
