Volunteer Opportunities
"There is no greater gift you can give, than the gift of time." - Nelson Mandela
Before in-school volunteering, you must complete these steps:
Watch a Training Video on Sexual Harassment/Child Abuse and Submit a Verification Form (Required Every Year)
Complete and Pass a Background Check (Required Every Two Years, Exceptions Apply)
We appreciate the gift of your time and make the following commitments to our volunteers:
#1 - We will start and end on time. Your time is valuable and we are committed to respecting your time.
#2 - There will be a representative at each event to greet you and introduce you to others. Being new to a group or volunteer opportunity can be uncomfortable; we've got you covered!
#3 - Directions will be clear and concise. Each volunteer is needed to fulfill a specific goal. We will make sure that is clearly communicated either upon arrival or before your event or volunteer opportunity.
#4 - Your time will have a positive impact on our students, families, teachers, or staff. Your PTA only commits to events and efforts that meet the priorities of the academic year. This means all volunteer activities in the 2023/2024 school year will involve one of the following: Teacher Appreciation, Building Community, Effective Communication, or Fundraising to meet the needs of Belvedere.
Field Day
Belvedere's Field Day out in the sunshine is a teacher lead tradition of the school year that brings much fun to all students, caregivers, parents, and staff alike!
Date: June 6 (Rain date: June 7)
Field day gives kids the chance to celebrate the school year coming to an end, show some class pride, and spend a day outside being active.

Another opportunity is to help out at the mid-week community night book fairs held in the fall and the spring.

After School Clubs
Do you enjoy helping children learn through fun and extra-curricular activities?
After school clubs are back at Belvedere! It takes a team effort to make our clubs a success.
We need 2 parents during each club day to help supervise students and help with dismissal from clubs. You can volunteer to help for a single day or a whole session!
Volunteering for after school clubs is a great way to get involved in the community and help our children continue learning beyond the classroom!
After school clubs have come to a close this year and thank you to the caregivers who assisted with the after school club tasks!
Garden Committee
Do you have a love for the outdoors or for tending garden beds?
This team helps maintain the gardens at the front of the school, near the grade school playground, and helps develop plans for future green space. Time commitment is as big or small as you would like.
Every set of hands helps and sharing your love of nature will continue the momentum of the "Green Space Goals" we have for this school year!
Join us with gloves and a trowel on hand!
