Stanford Montessori PTO

Principal Stricklin recommends that each Stanford Montessori family volunteer a minimum of 35 hours per school year to provide the support that our teachers and students need to make the school successful. Here are a few ideas for ways to earn those hours, and how many hours each activity qualifies for. Don’t forget to log in your volunteer hours in the Volunteer Logbook on the table in the front office. Box top sheets: each completed sheet 1 hour Cooking or donating food for any special event: 3 hours Log the exact time you spend, rounding up to the nearest half-hour or hour when necessary for the following activities:

1. Volunteering in your child’s classroom
2. Assisting teachers with classroom materials
3. Making phone calls for any school-associated item
4. Helping in lunch room or office
5. Assisting with dropoff and pickup
6. Helping at picture days, screening days, or TCAP testing
7. Serving food at PTO events
8. Attending PTO meetings/Committee meetings
9. Chaperoning field trips
10. Parent contacts: preparing communications, emails, etc.
11. Eating lunch with your child at school
Thanks for all you do to make Stanford a very special school!
