We are looking for classroom families to volunteer for the 2025/26 school season! This year will be a bit different than in years past, so please take a moment to read the information below.
As a room family volunteer, your role is to assist your grade-level teachers in planning and coordinating class events and celebrations. If you choose to sign up, you’re committing to helping make classroom celebrations fun, inclusive, and easy for families to participate in. Your role is to support your grade-level teachers in planning and coordinating events while keeping things simple, fair, and sustainable.
Please review the volunteer responsibilities and expectations before signing up to be a room family volunteer.
What’s New This Year?
What’s New This Year?
To make celebrations more equitable across all classrooms and support our school’s sustainability efforts, we’re making a few updates!
Room volunteers will now be organized at the grade level rather than by individual classroom. This means families can work together, share supplies and decorations, and plan celebrations as a grade (except for preschool, which will plan at the grade level but host celebrations in their individual classrooms).
We’re looking for 3 to 4 parents per grade level to step up as co-leads to help organize volunteers and keep things running smoothly.
To help keep things equitable, we’re encouraging a $200 max spend per classroom for celebrations.
We welcome all family members—parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles—who want to get involved! Thank you for helping us create a fun, connected, and supportive classroom community!
