We love having dedicated and positive Room Parents assisting our teachers within their classrooms!

Each year, a room parent is designated to each of our four classrooms to assist the teacher with moderate tasks such as: 

  • Making copies and cutouts
  • Decorating bulletin boards
  • Passing out supplies during activities
  • Reading stories to the class or to groups
  • Light grading with Teacher Manuals
  • and more!

The amount of time a Room Parent spends in the classroom is to be determined by the Teacher and Parent together, it is preferred that whatever arrangement is made is honored by the Room Parent as much as possible. In order to apply as a Room Parent, we kindly ask that you complete the following tasks:


  • Attend the brief Volunteer Session during our Open House (or view the presentation online at home)
  • Become Live Scanned through the Southern California SDA Conference
  • Sign the Volunteer Agreement
  • Arrange the schedule with the Teacher

No time to commit to a weekly or daily schedule? No worries! We welcome parent volunteers with limited schedules to assist with Field Trips, Fundraisers, Recess & Lunch Duty, and School Events. *Live-scan required if working with students
