Volunteer

Children learn more and have better lives when parents and school staff work together. Making Burleigh Manor Middle School a stronger educational community, many parents and staff members join our PTA each year. Throughout the year, the PTA provides opportunities for volunteer involvement and support to BMMS, including funding for the student activities, cultural arts programs, special classroom supplies, teacher hospitality and school equipment.

HCPSS Mandatory Online Volunteer Training

Are you interested in volunteering at BMMS this school year - maybe chaperone a field trip or help in a classroom? We value our volunteers and the contributions they make to our students and school. According to Howard County Board of Education Policy, all volunteers must complete a Confidentiality Training Course about protecting the privacy of our students, staff, and schools and must complete the Child Abuse and Neglect Training for Parents. Please complete this course and training before registering to volunteer at your child’s school. The course takes about 5 minutes to complete. Please turn both of your completion certificates into the front office at the school when you are finished. You can email the certificates to Heidi_Kintner@hcpss.org.
