Our PTSA is entirely run by volunteers and we are actively in need of more helping hands. Prior experience is not necessary. We welcome everyone to volunteer and become an active member of our community.
All volunteers must complete a background check per the Renton School District policy. If you plan to volunteer in the classroom sometime this year, we recommend completing your background check now so you can volunteer as soon as needed. It only takes a few minutes to complete the form.
Current Volunteer Opportunities
We’d love your help with any of the current opportunities listed below. If you have other interests or passions that you think might be a good fit for the PTSA, you can reach out to us via our contact form.

I PTSA because elementary school provides the building blocks of the fundamentals of learning and loving school. The programs and activities the PTSA provide offer kids more ways to shine, participate and feel included in their school community. By cultivating connections and building relationships the PTSA strives to bring us all together for a common goal – our kids!

PTSA fundraising provides enrichment to student learning by providing extras that aren’t possible with school budget alone. PTSA events bring students, teachers and families together to build a community increasing inclusion and belonging. PTSA drives provide for those in the community in need and make all feel cared for and accepted. PTSA helps make learning fun!
