If you are interested in volunteering, please be sure to come to the office to apply to be a volunteer to help with school events, field trips, lunch time, and so many other opportunities to help! If you are planning to help at a field trip you must communicate with your child's teacher and apply AT LEAST ONE WEEK before the field trip or event. The office needs sufficient time to complete background checks and process the application before you begin volunteering.
