Room Helpers

We are looking for family members or guardians who want to lend a hand by volunteering as a Room Helper.

What does a Room Helper do?

Ideally, every teacher will have at least one Room Helper who assists to bridge the gap between the teacher and the families (some classes can have more than one!)

Room Helpers do not need to physically be in the classroom as many of the tasks and communications can be done via computer. Examples of what a Room Helper may do:

Send out reminders to families for classroom events
Help plan parties and gifts for a classroom
Help recruit classroom volunteers for school events
Inform families of any classroom supplies needed

Room Helpers work directly with the teacher to make the class stronger and more cohesive by keeping families informed so that everyone can enjoy the school year! You can even be a Room Helper in multiple classes if you’d like.

If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please fill out the "Room Helper Survey Form" below.

You will be contacted by the PTO Room Helper Coordinator and will receive a packet that includes resources and information to help you. The Room Helper Coordinator will be available to answer questions and offer support throughout the school year.

Event Team Leads

Event Team Leads help bring our biggest PTO events to life. They coordinate planning, recruit volunteers, and keep the event organized, while their Event Team helps with everything from decorations and setup to activities and cleanup.

Our Event Team Leads coordinate the events, but it takes a team to bring them to life! Sign up to help with planning, decorating, setup, activities, or cleanup—whatever fits your schedule and interests.
