VOLUNTEERING
Parent volunteers are an essential component of our TWBI program. We appreciate the commitment you made to sign up for a parent committee and volunteer within the classroom. In order to volunteer, you must have completed the Volunteer Packet. If you completed a volunteer packet in a previous year, you are already in the system and are good to volunteer with teacher permission! If you have not completed the volunteer packet it is available at this link: Volunteer Packet. If you have any questions about your volunteer status you can check with Julia in the office.
