Getting Involved
Parent and community involvement is essential to the successful education of our children. Volunteering for our school not only helps the students and staff, but more importantly shows the children that they are important to us. We appreciate the important ways our volunteers help us and encourage you to become a part of our volunteer team.
Whether you are interested in donating products or services, volunteering for a single event/field trip or would like to help out with one of the many committees, your involvement will make a HUGE difference!
​
Parents, guardians, grandparents and older siblings are encouraged to volunteer.
​
Registration must be completed every school year. Registration for the 2024-2025 school year will open on August 9th.
​
If you need help getting started or have any questions, please e-mail the Volunteer Coordinator.

How Do I Check in at School?When you first go into the front office for the first time, you will need a Photo ID to have an ID sticker printed. On subsequent visits, there is a computer terminal you can sign in to and your information sticker will be printed. Office staff can help you. Make sure to choose VOLUNTEER (instead of VISITOR) so that your volunteer hours are logged. You MUST sign out before you leave the campus.

Where are the Adult restrooms?Adult restrooms are located throughout the building but can be a challenge to find! One is located in the cafeteria by the teacher's lounge. Others are located in the enclosed section of each grade level commons and in the teacher's work room on the first floor.

Volunteer Guidelines1. Respect the Teacher's classroom and rules at all times. If helping in the classroom, make sure you know what time the teacher would like you to help. Keeping the learning environment consistent is priority. 2. Keep confidences. If a student or teacher reveals personal information, reguard it as a confidence. 3. Set a good example for the students when at the school in words and deeds. Use positive comments and encourage students, especially when they are working on difficult things. 4. Be reliable and prompt. If you have to cancel or be absent, please find an alternate volunteer or contact the teacher or PTA Board member as soon as possible. THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING OUR HAWKS!
