Parent volunteers are valuable parts of school operations. One way that parents can improve the learning environments is to paint the school. You will need permission from the school's principal and maintenance department to complete the project. Additionally, you will need to secure funds to buy the materials, including the proper color paint and brushes. You may be able to get funds from the school , or you might collect money from fellow parent volunteers.
School plays entertain your students and community while forging school pride. The parents and teachers in the school can act in the plays themselves, or they can supervise the training of students for roles in plays. Depending on your students' ages, you can put on a variety of shows, including "Little Red Riding Hood," "Snow White," and "Romeo and Juliet." Gather parents after school to plan the plays, including who will act, who will produce, whether someone will film and how to put together costumes.
Physical fitness is an important part of our development and health. Although many schools have formal athletic programs, there may be a sport that students wish to play, but there are no staff to coach the program. Although it takes a single, competent parent to teach students a sport, you can include other parents by recruiting fellow coaches or having them attend public matches. You can even start an intramural league, where different schools play against each other. By coaching a team, you help students become more physical activity in a supervised environment, while offering you the opportunity to spend more time with your children.
Because of the amount of information that teachers are required to convey, along with the number of students they are assigned to teach, many would appreciate having a teacher's assistant to help manage the classroom. Teaching assistants are particularly relevant in elementary school, as students tend to be more active than older, more mature students. Younger students, additionally, need more help managing classroom material, such books and arts and crafts supplies. If your school does not have enough teaching assistants, consider proposing that available parents be allowed to volunteer within the classroom.
