Volunteer with the Dragon PTA

The best way to build a connection with our school is to VOLUNTEER. 

If you haven't volunteered yet, give it a try. You'll see how gratifying it is to spend time with our students, teachers, and staff, doing something to lend a hand.

 

It's not as scary as it sounds. If you're looking at this, you're someone who is going to be volunteering every year anyway so you may as well take a job. We see the same core group of volunteers over and over again. It's because when you volunteer once, you get hooked! We all have full time jobs, hobbies, and family members to care for, but we make it work and so can you. 


Below are the roles we still need to fill for the 2024-25 school year.
Please contact  ptapresident@greenlakedragons.org to inquire, and THANK YOU! 

  

 

PAID POSITION:
Onsite After School Enrichment Program Managers (2-3 needed per quarter)

When school is in session, Green Lake Elementary opens its doors to a rich variety of local organizations who provide fun and engaging after-school activities like parkour and pokemon, coding and robotics, basketball and chess, and MORE. Our teachers and staff are done for the day and they’ve headed home, so our vendors and our students need someone onsite to make sure programs run safely and smoothly.

 

This position is so important that we offer a small stipend of $25/hr PLUS one free enrichment class for your student each quarter, paid by the PTA. Ideally we’ll split the role between 2 or more people according to their availability, so you only do the days that work for you.

 

Responsibilities

During programs

  • Make the rounds at the start of class to note attendance and check in with program teachers to remind them about students who have known medical needs. If a student is missing, text and email the parent to ask if they were picked up, or to let them know that the student is on their way home instead.
  • Be available to support any students that need to leave early, ensuring they are picked up by an approved adult.

After programs end

  • Document all late pick ups (10min or later) and notify the Enrichment Coordinator.
  • Help facilitate any carpools and/or “walking school buses” that have been arranged by the Enrichment Coordinator.
  • When all vendors and students have left, lead a walking school bus to Cedar Crossing to see students safely home.


Time commitment

3:15PM – 5:30PM Mon-Tue-Thur-Fri, and 2:00-4:00PM Wed when After School Enrichment is in session each quarter (Fall, Winter, and Spring). We'll do our best to split the work up so it’s not all you; please reach out to express your interest and we’ll set up a schedule that works for you!

PTA support

The After School Enrichment Program Coordinator will support and oversee this role, to ensure the Program Managers have what they need in order to be successful.
