Volunteering
Thank you to all our amazing volunteers!
Current Volunteer Opportunities
We have some wonderful new volunteer opportunities available. We greatly appreciate all of the time and effort River parents devote to the school. Your help really makes a positive difference to our budget. Every dollar counts!
Please don't forget to log those volunteer hours. The log is next to the copy room next to the office. If you can't make it into the school to log your time, please feel free to contact Dana Wade at volunteer@rivermontessori.org. In the interest of saving paper, if you regularly volunteer a couple hours a week, write the total hours for the month on the line. We need to have documentation of volunteer hours to show the CDE during the charter renewal process that we can count on volunteer time to offset costs.
If you are new to River or would like to brush up on River volunteer expectations, please review Volunteer Basics below. Here is a list of opportunities we have available.
Lunch/Recess Duty and Pick-Up Duty (ongoing) We need additional lunch/recess duty (12-1pm) volunteers as well as some volunteers to help load students into their cars at dismissal from 3-3:15 M-TH or 1-1:15 Fridays.
Handy-Person
It would be a great help if someone could come in once a week to help with “odd jobs.” This might include anything from hanging things on walls, to moving furniture, to tacking down carpets, to getting balls off the roof. It doesn’t have to be a consistent day of the week and there might not always be a project each week. The timing is flexible.
Calling all Painters
We are looking for volunteers to do some interior painting. The project will start as soon as we have some paint and painting volunteers. Feel free to either pitch in to buy paint/painting supplies or pick up a brush and get a little messy. (Painting will take place on a weekend so that children will not be affected by the fumes.)
Summer Camp Resource Guide Project
River parent, Lisa Elliott, is looking for someone to help put together a resource list of summer camp options available in the area. The project requires researching summer camps and then creating a list of pertinent camp info that can go out to parents.
Contact Dana Wade at volunteer@rivermontessori.org if you'd like to volunteer for any of the aforementioned openings.
Everyone volunteering at the school during the school day needs a TB test. If you got it elsewhere within the last year you need to leave documentation at the front desk, before you volunteer.

The success of RMCS depends on the involvement of all students, family, faculty, and staff. Thank you for making our school the best it can be.
