| There are many ways to volunteer your time and services. Below is a list of all the different areas in which we need volunteers. | |

In the Classroom Depending on the individual teacher’s needs, parents are encouraged to volunteer in the classroom. To find out about specific volunteer opportunities in the classroom, speak with your child’s teacher. Back to top Teacher Assistance Program (TAP) If you don’t have a specific class to volunteer in but have a few minutes of free time, we encourage you to participate in the TAP (Teacher’s Assistance Program). Volunteers assist teachers with copying, cutting, and laminating. To find out more information about TAP, or to volunteer, leave a message in the PTA box. Back to top PTA El Oro Way has a very active PTA that is involved in raising money, providing support, and sponsoring programs and events that benefit the overall education of our children. Whether it is volunteering to chair an event, serving as a committee member, doing behind the scene work, or helping out the day of with an activity or fundraiser, El Oro Way PTA needs you.

Back to top Recess and Lunch Yard Monitors More information coming soon. Back to top Nature Habitat More information coming soon. More about our Habitat. Back to top Wonder of Reading The Wonder of Reading organization works closely with public elementary schools to inspire in children a love of reading. One of the ways they do this is to encourage their elementary school libraries to participate in a Volunteer Reading Partner Program. Here at El Oro Way, we have such a program. We currently have 7 volunteers and 14 children participating in the program. These volunteers read once a week for 1/2 hour with 2 different students. The students are identified by the teachers and then matched with a volunteer. We still have approximately 22 students that are in need of help and not enough volunteers to go around. We urge our parents, grandparents and members of the community to get involved and become a volunteer reading partner. It is a rewarding and beneficial experience for the child as well as the volunteer. Find out more about The Wonder of Reading at www.wonderofreading.org. To find out how to become a Volunteer Reading Partner at El Oro Way Elementary, contact Robin Merlino at El Oro Way’s library or complete this form (pdf). Back to top Morning Traffic Control In order to keep our children safe and to ease the traffic flow during morning drop-off, volunteers are needed to man the drop-off line. Two people are needed for each shift (7:50am – 8:15am), Monday – Friday. If you are able to help out with this duty, whether it’s once a month or once a week, please contact the office. Your help is greatly appreciated! Back to top |
