One of the many strengths of James Lewis Elementary is parent involvement in our school. Parents are not simply needed at JLE, you are VITAL to our success. We have volunteer opportunities to suit all interests and commitment levels, from helping with a one-time event or sending in items needed, to holding a Committee Position for the entire school year. You can be involved more directly in your child's classroom by being a Room Parent or Teacher's Aide. The needs vary depending on grade level as well as teacher needs and preferences.  Any amount of time you give to James Lewis Elementary is an amazing gift to our students and staff.
There are so many ways to get involved…here are a few more ideas:
  • PTA Meetings – Come to our meetings (every 3rd Thursday of the month) and find out the latest on upcoming school events, committee projects, financial updates and more. Everyone is welcome to attend.
  • Events – Join the fun helping out at any (or all!) of our events, many of which help raise essential funds for our school.
  • Committees – If there is any specific event or activity committee that interests you, jump right in! Committees can almost always use more hands, so if you would like to help, please reach out to the committee chairpersons directly, or contact our VP of Volunteers.
  • Classroom – Room Parent and Grade Level Representatives are great ways to support learning in your child's classroom. You also have the opportunity to be a teacher's aide and help a grade level other than that of your student.  
  • PTA Board – New board members are elected every year depending on length of term. This is a great way to become directly involved in improving our school!
  • Other Ideas – Do you have ideas for other ways to help? If you have any special talents/connections that you think might be useful, please feel free to let us know.
NOTE: Current guidelines for the 2021-2022 school year allow limited volunteers in the building at JLE. Our goal is always timely, transparent communication about volunteer opportunities and how these may be impacted by changing Covid-19 precautions.
