We encourage and expect our parents to be a part of their children’s learning community and to assume a high level of involvement in the children’s education.
Cambridge believes parent involvement is key to the success of our school. We further believe it is the responsibility of parents to enrich their children’s educational environment. It is within this spirit that we invite parents’ involvement.
Parent volunteer opportunities are varied and numerous. They include: serving on board committees; working on the building and grounds; helping in the office; planning field trips and other school events; assisting teachers in the classroom; monitoring lunch/recess duty; and serving as homeroom parent or as resource parent.
Opportunities may also include such things as performing telephone or clerical tasks at home and providing childcare to free others to complete their parent involvement responsibilities. Whether performed at school or at home, parent assistance gives us opportunities to share our gifts with other families in the Cambridge community.
Parents are asked to volunteer a minimum of six hours per month for one or more full-time students or four hours per month for families who only have a kindergartner. There is a reduced commitment for single parent families. Parents are asked to log their hours using the Parent Volunteer form.
