At Parker, we are Rooted in Relationships and Rising in Partnerships, and we know that when families and schools work together, students thrive. We invite parents, grandparents, and family members to get involved in supporting our students and school community.
There are many ways to volunteer throughout the year, including reading with students, supporting classrooms, assisting in the library, helping with special events, serving as a field trip chaperone, supporting the front office, and volunteering at activities such as Fall Fest, Book Fair, Field Day, and more!
📧 The email includes: ✅ Current volunteer opportunities

Whether you can volunteer once for a special event or support our school throughout the year, your time and talents make a meaningful difference for our students.
