Volunteer Opportunities
There are many volunteer opportunities coming up. Please review below, and keep in mind the requirements for volunteering on different levels. Attached below is an informative document detailing the CPS Volunteer Process. Get started ASAP as this can take over a month to complete!
Parent Committee: The 4th Grade Planning Committee will have its first meeting on Wed., Oct. 16 in room 205 at 2:15 pm. As opposed to having any one room parent for each room, the 4th grade rooms work together to plan special events and organize volunteers. This means you only have two commit as much time as you have, and only when you have it! We will discuss upcoming events including the Halloween Party.
Halloween Party: If you would like to help with the fourth grade Halloween Celebration, please join us at the 4th Grade Parent Committee meeting. We will select four activities for students to rotate through and will create a list of needed supplies and volunteers. If you cannot make it to the meeting please let me know so I can add your email to any communications moving forward in planning.
*You must have level 2 volunteer clearance to volunteer at this event*
Tie Dye: The 4th graders will be tie-dying their Bell Walk shirts from this year to serve as their field trip shirts for the year. We will need volunteers on the morning of Friday, October 25 to help with the process. Further details will be discussed at the Parent Committee meeting, and a sign-up to volunteer will be sent out to everyone.
*You must have level 2 volunteer clearance to volunteer at this event*
Field Trip/ Chaperones Needed: Fourth graders will visit the Museum of Science and Industry on Tues., Nov. 26. Please note that this is the day before Thanksgiving break. We will need 6 parent chaperones who are Level 1 approved. If you are interested in chaperoning, please email me and then immediately begin the approval process. If more than 6 parents are interested in chaperoning, I will randomly select names.
Bell Walk: Bell Walk is Thursday, October 10. Pledge sheets went home this week. Please visit https://friendsofbell.
FOB Liaison: FOB is looking for a parent volunteer from each class to serve as a liaison between Friends of Bell and the parents in your homeroom. This can be done 100% from home and does not require CPS volunteer clearance. Please email me directly if you are interested in this role.
