Volunteer Roles & Descriptions

PTSA Board Members

Board Members have a variety of responsibilities.  Based on feedback from Members and School Staff, the Board proposes the budget, event, and programs for the year.  The Board then helps make sure Chairs and Committees have what they need to successfully execute their mission.  Board Members attend meetings once a month.

PTSA Event Chairs

Take the lead in planning and coordinating an event! You will work with a team and have the support of our experienced volunteers and Board Members, so you're never on your own.  Examples of this are the STEM Night co-chairs, Glow Party planners, and Movie Night Chair.

PTSA Committee Members

Not ready to take the lead, but want to help plan an event?  Serve on a committee!  You'll work with a great team and get to help plan awesome events such as Ice Cream Social, Movie Night, STEM Night, Fall Festival (the list goes on!).  You could also volunteer to be on the Planning and Budget committee to plan for the next school year.

PTSA Event Volunteers

Volunteer for 1-3 hours at one of our events and perform a specific assigned task.  Some examples are selling concessions at Bingo Night, running a bubble station at the Fun Run, setting up tables for STEM Night or taking pictures at an event for Yearbook.

Classroom Volunteers

Art Docent: The Art Docent program will continue as it has in the past. Lesson plans, materials, and a virtual or in-person training session will be provided. This is a great way to get to know your student's teacher and classmates. Students love art docent volunteers! No previous art training/experience is required.

Room Parent: Room Parents will work together to plan Fall, Valentine, and End of Year Celebrations for a class. The Fall celebration this year, for example, will be an all-school Fall Festival during the school day.

Teacher Production Assistant: Due to new Math/Science curriculum, teachers have requested extra help preparing classroom materials. Volunteers will work in the school office, other school work areas, or at home. Help support our teachers by providing essential behind-the-scenes support!

Field Trip Chaperone: Attend a field trip with the class to act as chaperone and/or serve as a driver (other conditions may apply)

Guest Speaker:  Share your expertise with the classroom, this could include something cultural, technology related, or anything else discussed with your teacher host.
