Parents

We need Parents to Become Partners in Education!

Here are several ways you can become a partner in education:

  • Become a classroom, field trip or after school program volunteer.
  • Join our Parent Focus Group by representing our parents on the SPMT Team.
  • Join our Business Hands Recruit Team by helping our school recruit community partnerships. 

These partnership recruits will help pay for student academic activities, parent continuing education workshops and family events.  The meetings will take place twice a month.  

Make sure you have a voice in the types of activities you would like to see in your child's school.

You can do this by joining our Parent Involvement Policy Team, Become an active PTO member where you can assist with workshops, events and programs.

All Parents that would like to volunteer in the school, classrooms, or on field trips are welcome!  
A Fingerprinting process and CPS Back Ground Check is mandatory

Please call the office and speak with Ms. Adutwum, our Community Schools Coordinator for more details about volunteering.
