Becoming a classroom volunteer is a fun and very important way to be involved in your student’s classroom. There will be an opportunity to sign up for these positions at Back to School Night.

Volunteers who would like to sign up for multiple openings may do so, however, please remember that this is a commitment and if you can’t help then you will need to find someone to take your place. Some positions require the volunteer to be a VIP. There are many positions that can be done virtually and do not require being a VIP. Thank you so much for volunteering to help. Your support and help is greatly appreciated!
