Volunteers are the heart and soul of our School. Volunteering your time allows our teachers and administrators to focus more time on educating children, and also allows the PTA to create wonderful out-of-school time activities that bring our community together and broaden our student’s experience opportunities.
There are many ways to get involved in the Maplewood community: mentoring and tutoring students, helping with events, taking on leadership roles, beautifying campus grounds, fundraising, advocacy, communications, health and fitness, food pantry, office help and much more!
Austin Partners in Education (APIE) requires an annual background check for all volunteers who work alone with students such as mentoring and tutoring without faculty or staff supervision. It is preferred that anyone who is volunteering in a location regularly (library, classroom, office) to register with APIE for their annual background check.
For more information on background checks, contact the school administration. For more information about how to volunteer, contact PTA Presidents at president@maplewoodelementary.com
