Ways to Get Involved

Classroom Duties

Support your child’s class with hands-on help — things like organizing materials, prepping projects, or lending a hand during special activities.

PTA Fundraisers

Join the fun at school-wide events like the Book Fair, Fun Run, Spring Fling, and Fun Day. These are great ways to connect with families while supporting our school programs.

PTA Programs

Help with ongoing programs such as the Walking Club or Community Outreach projects that bring our Masonboro family together.

Attend and Participate

Come to PTA Meetings to stay informed and share your voice. Join us for the Volunteer Breakfast to celebrate our amazing helpers, and keep an eye out for PTA-sponsored Restaurant Nights that give back to our school while we share a meal together.

When You Volunteer

Every hour counts! Be sure to sign in and out each time you volunteer. It helps keep our school secure and lets us report total volunteer hours to the county.

Don’t forget your Volunteer Sticker — it keeps everyone safe and lets students and staff know you’re part of the Masonboro crew.

Volunteer Levels

Level 1 Volunteers work under the supervision of school staff.
Level 2 Volunteers may work independently with students and need a background check.
If you’re unsure which level applies to you, please contact the front office.

Volunteer Sign-In Procedures

Before you get started, stop by the front office to sign in. You’ll find a computer on the table to the right — click the “Volunteer” button and follow the prompts.

Once you’re signed in, a volunteer badge will print automatically. Please wear it while you’re in the building so students and staff know you’re part of the Masonboro crew.

When you’re finished for the day, don’t forget to check out before leaving.
