Parent Volunteer Opportunities
Children’s House encourages and expects parents to help with school activities either in the classroom, at home or on the school grounds. Our goal is that each family will contribute a minimum of 10 hours during the school year supporting the school through volunteering. We would like you to consider the list below and decide how you can assist with this school year. Volunteering offers enrichment opportunities for your child and their friends; it also supports the school through assisting with general maintenance and upkeep. We will provide you with guidelines while in the classroom and directions for any activity you will be assisting with. If you chose to volunteer your time outside of the classroom, we will suggest ways you can help and provide direction and guidance to make your experience a positive one. Come join us!
