Wanted: Kindergarten Lunch Room Helpers!
Are you looking for an easy way to volunteer at school? Perhaps you have a kinder and want to get to know their classmates? This is an easy way to do both!
Kindergarten Lunchroom Helpers are parents/family members who come help with the many lunchtime needs. Opening items, encouraging eating, and working on general lunchroom manners will keep you busy from 12:20-12:40. We welcome any help after volunteer consent forms have been received by the school. If you would like to participate with recess, plan to arrive at 12:00.
You can find the volunteer consent form here:

Odyssey of the Mind
Parent Advisory Council (PAC)
What is the PAC?
The Parent Advisory Council (PAC) meets every month to discuss ideas, questions, concerns, and experiences they or others have had within our schools. This opportunity to explore issues through group discussion and with appropriate school district personnel allows them to serve as an ombudsman or advocate for many others.
Each school has 2-3 representatives who attend each meeting. We will share the monthly meeting minutes in our PTO emails throughout the year. If you have any questions, please feel free to email the PTO.
