Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers bring our mission to life.

Our volunteers are the best; they make everything we do possible! The PTA invites you to join us in making our school the best it can be—a place where every child can learn, grow, and thrive. Whether you can give an hour, a day, or ongoing support, your time and contributions—big or small—make a meaningful difference for our students, teachers, and community.

There are countless ways to get involved, from helping in the classroom to volunteering at events. Do you have a specific skill? We are looking to build up our roster of Community Contributors - volunteers that help with graphic design, website design, event photography, etc.

Explore some of the opportunities below, and if you’d like more information or have ideas of your own, we’d love to hear from you!. Please use this link, or email info@johnmuirpta.org.

Here are some ways you can get involved:

Attend PTA meetings!

Volunteer at PTA events (Book Fair/Pancake Breakfast, Color Run. Multi-Cultural Night, Socials, Fundraisers, etc.)
Help with preparations for PTA meetings and publications (newsletters, websites, flyers, posters, etc.)

Assist in the classroom, library, and on yard duty during lunchtime, and more

Volunteer Requirements (for adults potentially left unsupervised with students)

All volunteers must complete district paperwork (see below) and undergo a background check. Once you have been cleared, you do not need to repeat this process each year. Please note, the background check is required even if you have been screened by another agency. The cost of the background check is the responsibility of the parents and is usually more affordable at any UPS store.

Next Steps

Print and complete the paperwork linked below.
Bring the completed paperwork with you when you go for fingerprinting.
Return all completed paperwork to the district office or your school office.
