Volunteering at Pike Lake
All volunteers in the Mounds View School District are required to complete a background check at your student's school before volunteering. If you are interested in volunteering at Pike Lake please click here to print a background check form. Pike Lake conducts a background check each year on each volunteer; if you have a check on file with another school or have previously had a background check at Pike Lake we ask that you please fill one out again for this year. Volunteers are required to familiarize themselves with Policy EG-3104.
Celebration or Birthday Treats
In order to help promote all students' health as well as providing a safe environment for our students with food sensitivities, all elementary and Kindergarten centers have guidelines for celebrations.
If you wish to bring something to share with classmates for a birthday or other special event please limit it to a non-food item. Donation examples include, but are not limited to: student's favorite book to the class collection, have a special 'guest reader' read a book to the class, stickers, pencils, pens, markers, erasers, a board game to the class for indoor recess, etc. Your child's teacher will also help recognize your child's special day.
