Parent Volunteer Opportunities
Submit your clearances to the district
Parents are a vital part of making a child’s school experience positive and successful!
We greatly appreciate any and all volunteers. If you are new to volunteering, it’s helpful to know that many activities and events take less time than one may expect. It is a great way to learn more about Charlestown, meet other parents, and have fun! Be sure to visit the school district volunteer page to understand more about what you need to do before you get involved.
Lead classroom parents
This is an opportunity to support your child’s teacher and support classroom activities. Fiona Jennings is our parent coordinator for lead parents at Charlestown. Some of the lead parent responsibilities are:
Collecting information and dues
Sharing school news with classroom parents
Planning and carrying out classroom parties
Organizing classroom teacher gifts
Assisting the teacher
Chick-fil-a Bingo
The Bulldog Dad's will host Chick-fii-a Bingo night. Please plan to attend with your CT student(s) for a fun-filled night of CFA, bingo, popcorn and PRIZES!
Staff Appreciation
During November conferences, the PTO arranges a Staff Appreciation Dinner. Parents can donate money for a catered meal for the CT Staff.
Family Ambassador (ongoing)
Newcomers are encouraged to attend the New Family Orientation held just before the start of the school year. This event will allow you and your children to tour the school and ask questions of current students and parents at Charlestown. In addition, newcomers are invited to join our PTO Board for coffee and conversation in September.
Our Ambassador’s Chairperson, Natasha Aden, is an invaluable resource and is available to guide all new families.
Classroom Volunteers (ongoing)
Parents will be invited to volunteer for classroom parties, events, special projects, field trips etc. Your classroom Lead Parents will email the class when these opportunities arise.
