Become a Volunteer

We believe that parents are the best partners in making our school successful. Throughout the year there will be many opportunities for you to get involved and strengthen our school! Parents can help with field trips, events, and after-school activities and we will work together to meet your flexible schedules. Call the school to find out how you can volunteer.

Parents Assisting With Service (PAWS) Program

  • In order to keep tuition low, we offer the PAWS Program to our families. In return each family is asked to do six forms of service for each school year. ​

  • Parents can earn a PAW a number of different ways:

    • Participating in school life​

    • Volunteering for service projects

    • Donating supplies

    • Chaperoning field trips

    • Attending Parent Involvement Workships sponsored by the school

  • Every three hours of volunteer service is equal to one PAW.
