2025-2026 VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES! ROOM PARENT SIGN-UPS, AND MORE
We are so excited for another school year to begin and as always, we are looking for 2-4 room parents per classroom to help make this year a success. Room parents provide support to teachers during the school year for PTA organized events, as well as teacher/classroom specific needs. Duties include collecting and managing class funds, organizing class parties, coordinating volunteer opportunities, and communicating information from the school, the PTA, and the Bradley Hills Education Foundation.
We are also looking for additional volunteers who will be added to a list of parents/guardians who may be contacted in the case of additional volunteer needs in the classroom, at the grade-level, or for the school in general.
Keep a lookout for the room parent sign-up link in your children's teachers' welcome emails later this week and look for a QR code in your children's classrooms at Sneak-a-Peek. If you have any questions, please email bradleyhillsvolunteer@gmail.com.
