Volunteer Opportunities

Studies prove that the more parents are involved in their child's school, the better ALL students do. Here are a few of our ongoing volunteer opportunities. Please contact the Parent Center if you would be interested in helping. Thank you!

  Classroom Aide:

We are frequently asked to assist individual students in
some of their classes. Volunteers help students stay on task and understand and complete assignments.
  Lunchroom Monitor:

The lunchroom is where the action is! Being a lunchroom
monitor gives you the opportunity to interact with a wide variety of students, including your child and his/her friends. It lets you see the junior high experience "up close and personal." It also lets you positively impact a greater number of students than just about any other volunteer position. We would prefer to have volunteers commit to covering one, two-hour lunch shift per week (11:20-1:20 Monday-Thursday or 9:55:12:35 on Friday), but we would also happily accept people who could just drop in occasionally.
  After-school Monitor:

We would love to have parents help monitor the halls and the school grounds for about 20 minutes after the last bell rings. (The last bell rings at 2:45 M-TH and 12:40 on Fridays.) If you are a parent who usually picks your child up at the end of the school day, perhaps you could stay just a little bit late on one of those days to help out (then you wouldn't have to fight the after-school traffic!).
  Helpful Hints from the Parent Center

One of the biggest fears incoming 7th graders have is not being able to open their locker. To help alleviate this fear, buy a combination lock and let your child practice opening it. Once school starts, if your child's locker jams or will not open they should go ahead and go to class and tell their teacher the problem. A custodian can then be called to open the locker.
