Get Involved!

There are several ways you can be involved with your child's elementary school experience. Depending on your time and desire there are certain to be roles that can fit into your schedule. Once you've verified your information, open volunteer opportunities are listed below:

Join the PTA

By joining the PTA, you will 

- receive access to the online student directory 

- support student activities sponsored by the PTA

- fund teacher and staff appreciation celebrations

Lead / Join a Committee

There are several committees where you and other parents can help a big event like the HTG Games or a smaller activity like Sunshine Committee, International Night, or GIVE Day. 

Become a room parent

Each classroom needs a couple room parents to act as a liaison between the teacher and other parents. You can assist the teacher to plan class parties, manage class funds and other in-class activities that involve volunteers. 

Volunteer

Throughout the year, there will be lots of opportunities for you to get involved - both big and small. Many events and activities for the students require parent volunteers. The volunteer form link will be updating throughout the year with the upcoming activities that need your support.
