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. There are various levels of clearance depending on your level of volunteering. To begin the clearance process, please go to the District’s volunteer webpage. The Cipriani PTA will reimburse you for the cost of fingerprinting, which is a one-time requirement to have Level 2 clearance.
This clearance must be completed prior to working in classrooms or chaperoning field trips.
