Volunteer Opportunites

Volunteering with PTA is a great way to get involved at Cipriani Elementary. Do you know who loves when you volunteer? Your kids! Multiple studies have shown that active parent engagement increases children’s success in school. Cipriani provides many ways for parents to become involved at home and at school, weekly, monthly, or once a year if that is all the time you have. 

All volunteers who volunteer at Cipriani during school hours must be cleared through the District’s Volunteer Clearance. To begin the clearance process, please go to the District’s volunteer webpage. We encourage you to sign up for Level 2 Volunteer Clearance so you are able to volunteer as a field trip chaperone and more. This requires fingerprinting but the good news is that you only need to do this once for the entire duration of your child(ren)'s BRSSD enrollment. The PTA will reimburse you for this one-time cost if you have the fingerprinting done at one of the following locations:

UPS #0426 at 951 Old County Rd in Belmont
WellnessMart, MD at 770 El Camino Real, Suite B in Belmont
UPS Store #2152 at 7 W 41st Ave in San Mateo

Submit the PTA reimbursement form to the PTA Treasurer at treasurer@cipriani-pta.org after you've completed your fingerprinting and volunteer application.
