Volunteering

There are many volunteer opportunities at Wedgwood in the classroom as well as around school—the strength of our parent volunteers is one of our community’s greatest assets.

In the classroom, each teacher uses volunteers differently. They may need extra help on specific days with activities, including small groups, reading circles, science lab, computer lab and field trips. Teachers will explain their classrooms’ specific needs at Curriculum Night in September, though many slots will not begin until after the first three weeks of school in order to get students acclimated to the learning environment and routine with the teachers only.

PTA opportunities are year-round and some begin right away. Over the summer the PTA is organizing the Back-to-school BBQ for the night before school begins. At the BBQ you will have an opportunity to see the list of committees and chairs needed to organize the many school and family events hosted during the year. There will also be a PTA Room Parent representative sign-up list. Generally, this parent or two help distribute important PTA communications, recruit volunteers, collect the comfort kits for the class, and may assist the teacher with classroom parties and special events.

Please see the PTA Needs You page for opportunities that have high priority. To volunteer or find out more information on any, please contact PTA VP Volunteers Julie Stevens at bryceandjulie@comcast.net.
