Volunteer Opportunities

Lunch volunteers

Lunch & Recess Support, school days, 11:10am - 12:10 pm 

We are looking for 2-3 volunteers each day to help monitor the playground and assist in the lunch room. This is a fun way to get to know the students and staff! Can you commit to one day a week, or an occasional lunch time? Email nfrancois@pps.net for more details.

Teacher Support Program

Volunteer with the Teacher Support Program! We are always needing more volunteers and we particularly NEED support in all of our PE classes with Ms. Hannah. Join us in an Arleta parent run teacher support model.

Clothing Closet

The PPS/PTA Clothing Closet is where PPS students can "shop" for new clothes twice a year from 10 am - 1 pm when referred by a school counselor. We are required to have 5-7 volunteers to help families select clothes and sort donations. Please be on the look out to sign up as a volunteer for this fun and valuable role -- any amount of time is appreciated! Arleta runs the clothing closet one day in April and one day in March. 

Library Support

Assist with checking books in and out and reshelving. 

Family Movie Night

We need volunteers to set up, sell concessions, and clean up for family movie nights. Contact hello@arletapta.org for more details.
