Volunteers Needed for Absence Calling

This volunteer opportunity is ONGOING....

The PTA helps by making calls to the homes of students who are absent from school.

It takes approximately 30-45 minutes (depending on the number of students absent) and can be done any time after 10:30 a.m. (Mon - Thurs) and after 12:30 on Fridays.

Currently, the calendar is wide open starting October 1st. You could pick your own days!!

We need a volunteer for every day that school is in session. It would be great if there were an army of volunteers so that each person only needs to be there one day of the month.To volunteer for absence calling, please contact the PTA Volunteer Coordinator, Stephanie Yorgason.

Stephanie can be reached via email at steph.yorgason@comcast.net

Thank you for your willingness to help out at the school. Together we CAN make a difference.
