Volunteering

Parents play an extremely important role in the overall success of Prairie Hill. Parents support the school in myriad important ways, and one of the most important is through volunteering. We expect parental volunteer support in three ways: volunteer opportunities in the classroom, school-wide volunteering, and major event volunteering.

Administrative Volunteers

Office volunteers can assist with administrative work such as copying and mailings, staffing the Health Room and various other duties throughout the school year.

Classroom Volunteers

All classes seek volunteers to assist with a variety of tasks. Teachers will communicate class needs to their class parents and includes classroom preparation, reading groups, field trips, etc.

Committee Opportunities

Committees carry out much of the organizational work of the school. Parents who are interested in serving on the Board or school committees may contact the committee chair.

School-Wide Volunteering

There are many other volunteer opportunities for parents, ranging from help with costumes, gardening, festivals, soup days and fundraising.

School Work Days

The Buildings and Grounds Committee hosts work days to help get the building and the classrooms ready for the new school year and Open Houses. Parents and children come together and lend a hand.
