Volunteering - What is your ONE thing?
Park School offers families countless opportunities for volunteer participation. Regardless of whether you have 1 hour or 100 to volunteer, if you prefer to work at school or volunteer from home of the office, we NEED you. In your CLASS. In your SCHOOL.
Throughout the school year, parent volunteer opportunities will be posted in ParentSquare.
Below are some current open volunteer positions at our school!! More are added often so check back!

Leveled Book Room Lead-In-Training
The Park School Book Room is a "leveled library" of children's books that teachers use for one-on-one instruction, small group work, and as take-home books for reading practice. With all material grouped by reading level, teachers and specialists are able to choose books appropriate and specific to each student's current reading level for pinpointed instruction. The Book Room Chair keeps this library running smoothly by meeting with the faculty committee to identify and purchase new material; leveling, sorting, and labeling books; handling returns and general organization of the collection; and coordinating long term maintenance projects. The 'lead-in-training' this year would shadow to take over later this year or next.
Park Makery Lead-In-Training
Shadow our current parent lead Kara Johnson to eventually assume the lead going forward. This parent works closely with our Librarian to plan projects and use for the Park Makery .
Coffee Cart Support
We need support on Fridays 9/1-12/15!!
Signing up for a coffee cart pick up time slot requires two tasks (can be two different people):
Task 1: Pick up coffee order from Equator on Miller in downtown Mill Valley. No need to stand in line—it will be ready on the counter! Please keep in mind that we have switched to the larger more eco-friendly cambro containers that they is heavier than the disposable containers. Then, set up coffee at the Park School garden latest by 7:55 am for the 8:00 am start time.
Please either designate a person or be the person to take leftover coffee to the staff lounge once coffee cart ends around 8:45 am approximately. Extra supplies such as sugar, cups, can also be put in the staff lounge.
Task 2: separate task of "Drop off empty coffee container" now that we are using the cambro containers. Signing up for drop off of the coffee container requires you to pick up the container in the staff lounge area in the afternoon, before end of school at 2:30pm, and to return to the Equator on Miller in downtown Mill Valley.
