Volunteer!

Ridgeview Elementary School has a wonderful and energetic group of volunteers who help us in many ways of school  life.  We have volunteer opportunities to fit anyone's talents and schedule.

• TEACHERS HELPERS: Some teachers will be asking for help inside and outside the class room.  After the teacher assess their needs, we will contact the volunteers and try to meet those needs.

• CAFETERIA VOLUNTEER: Lower grade/upper grade lunch duty.  :30minutes to volunteer as a lunchroom helper handing out silverware and napkins...entertaining and keeping them quiet.

• PLAYGROUND HELPERS: Volunteer to spend one or two lunchtimes (11:30- 1:30) to increase the number of supervising adults/teachers on our playground at recess.  This is a fun but very important way to help keep the playground safe for our students!

• TUTORING: Can you spare 30 minutes a week to help a child?  After the teachers identify students who need some extra help, tutors meet with the students during the school day, once a week.  The meeting time is chosen to suit your schedule, and it's a great way to make a difference in a students life...and a great way to help the teacher who is trying to keep the student caught up in class.

• OFFICE HELPER: Give Mel and Kathy a break, surprise them with lunch, a treat of chocolate, maybe some green tea or just grab the phones and do a little filing.

• ONE-TIMER: Occasionally the school needs help with one-time activities (such as assisting the nurse with screening, assisting with kindergarten testing, or filing in for a teacher while she attends a meeting). Can we count on you when these needs arise?
