Volunteer
Highest Priority Volunteer Needs
Thank you so much for supporting the students and staff of MPA by giving of your time. No matter where you help out, you make a difference. Our families' time, energy, gifts, and talents enable us to continue offering exceptional programming and help build the strong sense of community we have at MPA. Whether you have ten minutes or a couple of hours at a time, can come into the school or want to help from home, there is a volunteer opportunity for you! Per the MPA handbook we ask that each family volunteers 50 hours per year (25 hours for single parent households). Check out the list in the form below for ways to help and how to get involved.
Don't forget to record your hours!
If you will be volunteering in the school building or with the students, you will need to check in at the front office when you arrive. You will need to bring a valid, state issued Driver's License or Picture ID. We utilize the Raptor System to process background checks each time you sign into the building. This is one way we ensure the safety of all our students, staff, and volunteers. We thank you in advance for supporting this process. Depending on the volunteer activity, you may also be asked to fill out a confidentiality form.
We have several opportunities to volunteer and we will be updating the list throughout the year so make sure to check back often! Please also watch for opportunities in school-wide and classroom newsletters. You can view the list of opportunities and contacts below as well as visiting our PTA website that lists many opportunities during the school year.
