Life today is filled with so many commitments and not enough time to do all you would like to. If you could spare some time or even money is some cases for donations. Please know that it would be greatly appreciated. Listed below are possible ways you can help the class.
PTO
If you would like to join the PTO that would be great. You can also attend any of the events that they put on to show your support.
Room Parent
The room parent serves as a liaison between the teacher and the students' parents. Common responsibilities of a room parent include planning holiday celebrations and seeking volunteers to chaperone field trips or provide support to the teacher in other areas.
Book Clubs
Every month I'll send a Scholastic Book Club Order Form home. For every order the class earn points. The amount of points we earn depends on the dollar amount of the orders. The more orders we get the more points we accumulate. With the points we can acquire more books for our classroom library and other classroom items.
Field trip Chaperon
Any volunteer needs to be fingerprinted at the Human Resources office. You can contact the Human Resources Office at (775) 283-2130 you can schedule an appoint to be fingerprinted and to fill out some paperwork.
Again you must be fingerprinted. Once that is done here are the following ways you can help:
At School:
- Come in and talk about your career; bring props to engage kids.
- Read to the class or individual students.
- Share your culture or ethnic background with food and celebrations.
- Tutor struggling students.

- Put your own expertise and connections to work -Do you know a printer who could help with the newsletter? Are you a computer whiz who could help build a Web site? Would your employer donate supplies? Could you help build a set or loan tools for the building efforts? Could you help start a student internship with your company?
