Volunteer
It truly does take the whole West Shore village to raise our children! Whether you are new to West Shore or a returning parent, volunteering is a great way to meet other parents and build strong school connections. In addition to volunteering being intrinsically rewarding. West Shore parents are required to volunteer 20 hours per year.
West Shore has so many different ways to volunteer. There is sure to be a few different ways that fit your schedule and match your talents and preferences. We encourage you to find a way to help in whatever way fits your schedule best and commit to attending at least one PTA fundraising event or activity per semester. The West Shore community will thank you and so will our kids!
How to keep track of hours earned:
Parents are required to self-report. The volunteer log books are kept in the Attendance Office. If you would like to keep track of your hours at home, use this form and then add it to the book at the end of the school year.
How to earn volunteer hours:
PTA membership! Each family can receive a maximum of five (5) hours per year for becoming a member of the PTA.
Attend PTA Meetings! One (1) volunteer hour is earned per member. This means if two parents attend TWO (2) hours are earned for that family.
Box Tops for Education! Scan your receipt with the Box Tops app and you'll earn for your school with every Box Tops product you buy.”
Help at different school events. Support your student and volunteer at the same time.
