All are welcome. There are lots of board member jobs, big and small, to offer to everyone. It would be great to have a big PTSA board so we can spread the work and thus enjoy the upcoming year. Also, if you do not want a position but just want to volunteer and stay involved, please come to the meeting. We need everyone's input.

Volunteer Opportunities:
There is one way to make a real difference in the quality of your child's education and high school experience - GET INVOLVED! Especially for parents of new high school students, spending a little volunteer time on campus is a perfect way to find out more about the school and alleviate some of the questions or fears about "what high school is really like". For all students, parent involvement sends a clear message that your child is important, school is important, and that home and school are connected to work together towards a successful year. For parents who are limited in their ability to travel to school or to give time during the school day, there are many other needs for your time and talents. Just let us know what you can do and when you are available, and we'll find the right volunteer opportunity for you. Contact:
All volunteers are required to complete an application and undergo a criminal background screening conducted through the Community Involvement office. All Principals have the decision-making authority regarding volunteers and volunteer opportunities at the schools. Approved volunteers are issued cards identifying them as authorized volunteers.
