Volunteer Opportunities

Thank you for your interest in volunteering! Here are some specific ways you can help the school and PTA. We've organized the list to help you find a mode of volunteering that works best for your individual situation and personal work style.
     Parents who are more comfortable with specific work dates can start with Volunteer Dates. If you prefer to work on your own schedule toward clearly defined goals, Task-Oriented Roles may be for you. Goal-Oriented Roles are less defined than task-oriented roles. Open Board Positions are unfilled positions on the PTA executive board.

Let us know if you see something that interests you! Email questions to pta@francisscottkeyschool.org or click on the email link at the end of each description. Sign-up sheets will also be posted on the PTA bulletin board next to Room I in the first weeks of school.
