We love parent volunteers in our school! Typically, teachers organize parent volunteers for their own classrooms. Teachers depend on parent volunteers to assist with reading and math instruction as well as with other special projects and activities.
If you have an hour a week you could regularly give to your child’s classroom, the teacher would really appreciate the help. We know our parent volunteers are very important to the success of our overall program.
***All volunteers must have current background checks on file with our office. CLICK HERE for more information on how to become a volunteer. Background checks generally are good for 3 years. If you are unsure if you have a current background check on file, please email Debbie at dhillman@seasidek12.org.
