Join a Committee!

Volunteering in the Classroom:

Please contact your teacher or the school administrator. These volunteers must sign in and out at the office. Please note that parent volunteers who are directly supervised and within eyesight of a teacher will not need a fingerprint card. Those who are alone with students in a classroom, the playground, or driving on a field trip will be required to have fingerprint clearance on file. Also parents who attend school sponsored overnight field trips are required to have fingerprint clearance. If you are planning on volunteering regularly or driving for field trips please come to the school office for fingerprinting instructions and forms. This precaution is for the safety of your child and all the children in the school.

Please contact the Parent Council Co-chairs to sign-up for any of the below.
