Chair a PTO Event
The PTO has a community event every month and we need all the help we can get make them a success. While planning a school event can seem daunting, some of our smaller events really easy to plan and offer an opportunity to make a big impact without a huge commitment. If you are interested in chairing or helping organize an event, check out our board members page to see a list of open positions for 2025 and email us at please [email protected].
Be a Room Parent
Room parents act as the liaison between teachers, parents, and PTO. They coordinate classroom-related fun and support: small holiday activities, classroom supply needs, etc. The role isn't a huge commitment and usually only requires a few days in the classroom each year. We'll share a sign-up link at the start of the year to volunteer for this fun opportunity.
Become a CPS Volunteer
