Opportunities for Parents

OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARENTS
To Volunteer or Participate at School
2024-25

Kindergarten

Star of the Week:  All parents will have the opportunity to participate in coming to class to share about their student for a “Star of the Week” presentation. 

Centers:  Parents will be invited in during center time two times a week to read with and play literacy games with students

Super Science Friday:  One Friday a month, a parent volunteer will come and help with Super Science Friday. 

Parties / Field Day:  Parents will also be invited to help with parties and field day activities.  

1st Grade

  1. Mystery Reader: parents will sign up to be a guest reader for our classes. This will happen on the available Fridays through April. 
  1. Bulletin Board: parents may sign up to design our bulletin boards throughout the entire school year. This will happen the first week of each month. We will be there to help support parents with ideas, materials, student work, what’s okay to post, etc. 
  1. Class parties: This will continue how we’ve always done it. We encourage our room moms to rotate through our “party list” so that different parents can help each time. 
  1. Field Trips: we will ask for volunteers as our field trips are planned. 
  1. PTA: we will keep parents informed of opportunities to volunteer school wide as they come up. Steam night, color run, carnival, etc. are all great ways.
